The Auckland City Council is New Zealand's largest territorial authority under the Local Government Act 2002.
The mayor is elected to represent the entire city, while each councillor represents
one of the seven wards in the city. Each ward also has one or
two community boards, made up of one or more councillors and elected board members.
It makes
decisions on matters that are not delegated to committees or Auckland City
staff. Council meetings are scheduled twice a month, except during the
January recess.
The elected council delegates responsibility for some of its functions to
standing committees. These committees deal with finance and property, planning,
community development, works and transport. They generally meet once a month.
Councillors are appointed to committees. They make decisions on
city-wide issues and activities and to plan policy on delegated fields of
activity. A field of activity is a specific activity or
function, which the committee has responsibility for.
Committee membership consists of a chair, appointed councillors and a city
council general manager is assigned to each committee to provide advice and information
on legislative requirements, delegated powers, and council policy. Democracy
Services group also assigns a democracy adviser to each committee to
provide advice and administrative support.
