Background

Positions up for election

Voters in Auckland elected 20 councillors from 13 wards, as well as the mayor of Auckland. They also elected 151 members from 21 local boards and 35 trustees across 5 licensing trusts (Birkenhead, Mount Wellington, Portage, Waitākere, and Wiri Licensing Trust).[2]

Representation

Local boards

These were the first Auckland local elections since the 2024 Representation Review, which increased the number of local board members from 149 to 151, with the Howick Local Board gaining an additional 2 members for a total of 11.[3]

Pre-election report

The growth of Auckland was brought up in the pre-election report; the city now comprised over 1.8 million people (more than one third of the entire country) and contributed 40% of the country's GDP. The population was expected to grow by 520,000 in the next three decades.[4] Low productivity was another challenge identified in the pre-election report.[4]

The report noted that the council needed to invest $295 billion in the city's infrastructure. The State of Auckland Report (commissioned by the Committee for Auckland) ranked the city 99th against other peer cities globally in terms of productivity.[4]

Auckland was vulnerable to extreme weather including flooding and sea level rise, according to the pre-election report.[4]

Central government tensions

There were tensions between the council and central government during the 2022–2025 term, with mayor Brown saying that central government needed to be more collaborative with council when making decisions that would impact the city.[4]
