Illustration for Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

You live in an area with a local board. A local board is a group that helps make decisions for your community. A local board must be set up for each area so that the people in that area can have a say in what happens. This helps make sure the community's needs are met and that local government works well in your area.

You can have a say through your local board, which is there to represent you and your community. The local board's job is to make decisions that affect your area and to make sure the community's voice is heard. This is so that local government can work better for you and your community.

The law says that local boards must be established to give communities a voice and to help local government work effectively. This means that you and your community can help make decisions about what happens in your area. The local board is there to make sure your community's needs are considered and that local government is working for you.
