New Council structure to deliver for Auckland

Auckland Council Mayor-elect Len Brown has announced his structure and key appointments for the new Auckland Council.

“I want the new Auckland Council to hit the ground running,” says Len Brown.

“This announcement recognises the community’s desire to have an inclusive council that draws on strengths of people from right around the region.

“I want the new Auckland Council will be based on values of fairness, inclusion, prudence and getting things done. Councillors appointed to key leadership roles in the Council share these values with me.

“I have put in place strong accountability and performance measures in the new structure to make sure the new Auckland Council works in the interest of local communities right around our region.

“I want to see progress on Auckland’s economic, environmental and social development. With that in mind, I have designed the Auckland Council structure to advance progress in these policy areas and build on the vision of making Auckland the world’s most liveable city.

“It is important that the new Auckland Council gets off to a strong start. I look forward to working with councillors and local boards to deliver for our region,” says Len Brown.
