Auckland Council’s 10-year budget 2021-2031
This year is the year of recovery from COVID-19, the economic impact and hit on Council revenue was real. Auckland Council is forecast to take a 1 billion dollar revenue hit because of COVID-19.
This 10-year budget aims to find a balance between investing in our city and not overburdening our residents.
It will provide for our city’s future while keeping our rates increases low compared to other growth cities in New Zealand, will help Auckland’s economy recover, support our communities, build water and housing infrastructure and improve our transport network.
We need your feedback on these issues and how we pay for them.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Does anybody know a place in Auckland which takes possum fur?
Hi, my neighbours
One of my friends just caught a big possum from his garden.
He wants to ask if anybody knows a place to collect possums.
Or what he should do with it.
Kind regards
Betty
