Partnering with mana whenua
Auckland Council recognises iwi and hapū have a strong historical association with Tāmaki Makaurau. Mana whenua have occupied this whenua (land) over many generations, and they seek to maintain their relationship with the land and sea.
Thriving town centres
As the urban regeneration agency for Tāmaki Makaurau, our focus is on strengthening and growing communities around thriving town centres.
