Can you help us improve our services?
We want to improve our services for Aucklanders. To make sure we are on the right track, we are looking for people to give us feedback on the services we offer.
We are looking for people who:
• Are over 18 years old
• Don’t work for Auckland Council
• Have done one or more of the following since 1 January this year:
o Applied for a food licence
o Applied for a community grant or loan
o Made an official information request
o Phoned or emailed Council to get something fixed, such as noise, mowing or a damaged bin
o Requested a property information file or land information memorandum (LIM)
o Joined a Auckland Council library as a new member
o Applied for a building consent
o Made a submission on the Auckland Plan or 10-year plan
o Joined a leisure centre (gym or pool) as a new member
o Contacted Auckland Council on social media to get something fixed
If you are interested in helping and you're available for a 15 minute phone interview, please email stephen.mckernon@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz with your phone number and let us know which service you have used.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

19% No. This would be impossible in practice.
