Auckland Council’s 10-year budget 2021-2031
This year is the year of recovery from COVID-19, the economic impact and hit on Council revenue was real. Auckland Council is forecast to take a 1 billion dollar revenue hit because of COVID-19.
This 10-year budget aims to find a balance between investing in our city and not overburdening our residents.
It will provide for our city’s future while keeping our rates increases low compared to other growth cities in New Zealand, will help Auckland’s economy recover, support our communities, build water and housing infrastructure and improve our transport network.
We need your feedback on these issues and how we pay for them.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
