Back from inaugural meeting of #WaitematāLocalBoard of #AucklandCouncil. Inspiring and well-crafted speech from new chair #AlexandraBonham. Pity one member chose to do some self promotion / electioneering before taking the oath of office. Hope that behaviour doesn’t continue.

So disappointing to realise that #AucklandCouncil has no official events to mark the day of commemoration of the New Zealand Wars - or if they do the information is so hidden I haven’t been able to find it. Compare this to Anzac Day events.

Mayor results | Vote Auckland Auckland mayoral election results in the 2025 local elections.

Looking over the Auckland Mayoral election progress reports I see the Informal/Blank ticket is doing remarkably well.

My preferred candidate, Informal, has picked up 542 votes — and I’m delighted to see Blank pulling a strong 6,127. (1/3) #nzpol #aucklandcouncil #elections #democracy

Why it's time for Auckland to revisit STV A proportional voting system could widen choice, boost turnout, and improve representation in the Super City.

Why is half this Auckland inner city street blocked off and another closed entirely? Hoardings fence off two lanes of Wakefield St, with orange cones up and down both sides of the road.

QUICK! Someone alert the online #RoadCodeHotline!!!

#AucklandCouncil is bizarrely trying to keep people safe. #BrookeVanVelden will be very concerned at the value the Council are putting on life.

Scientists wage war on invasive fish to save Auckland lake Lake Tomarata, on Auckland's northern border, was once a haven for mussels and native freshwater plants.

Auckland Council freshwater biodiversity advisor Belinda Studholme said there were two "key species" the project was looking to protect: "The kakahi freshwater mussel and the native aquatic plants that should be growing here."

Grateful to be part of the Auckland Council team putting on this event for the community where local action continues to make a national impact. Here's to the next ten years of dotterel minding!

Herpetologists hop to it Auckland Council’s Environmental Services team is taking the opportunity to shine a spotlight on one of New Zealand’s most enigmatic and ancient amphibians - the Hochstetter’s frog.

🐸 As Kermit the Frog famously said, “It’s not easy being green.” But with a little effort, we can make it a whole lot easier for the Hochstetter’s frog to keep hopping along.

#AucklandCouncil Opposes the Treaty Principles Bill. Finally had a win. Houkura.

Auckland Council gains living wage accreditation The council has met the final condition in its journey to becoming a Living Wage Aotearoa accredited living wage employer.

“Alongside Mayor Brown, who included the Living Wage in the Long-term Plan, perhaps one of our strongest supporters was former Councillor Efeso Collins and this milestone is a fitting tribute to him in the year of his untimely passing.”
