Community

Under One Auckland, community councils will play an important role in keeping the local in local government. Community councils will provide a voice and funding for local interests.

Based on the current electoral boundaries, each community council would be made up of five members elected by their local community. It would be the role of community councils to protect and enhance the social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being of communities.

One Auckland would be responsible for to providing basic services. But Community councils would be able to gather separate funding to make specific needs possible in their unique areas, in richly diverse communities or in rural communities that are remote from the urban centre for example.

Community councils would represent and advocate local interests at the regional level, they would consider and report on any issues or responsibilities given by the regional One Auckland organisation, and they would make annual submissions to One Auckland to secure funding and services to address specific local needs.

Community councils would be the point of contact for local communities and special interest groups to provide feedback to One Auckland on their specific issues and the services their areas receive.
