Te kanohi kitea o ngā mema i pōtitia, i ngā hui Elected members' attendance at meetings

Our elected members attend meetings and workshops to make formal decisions, canvass issues or prepare for upcoming discussions. Governing Body and local board meeting attendances are published quarterly.

​Local board members' attendance at meetings

​Auckland Council’s 21 local boards make their decisions at formal business meetings, while workshops are used to canvas issues or prepare for upcoming decisions. Some boards also hold community forums to discuss public forum and deputation items and, if required due to time constraints, to consider items of local board business.

Further information about the types of meetings is available on Conducting governance business.

These documents show the attendance of the local board members at business meetings and workshops. For the local boards that host community forums, this attendance is also included.

Absences may be due to prearranged leave, illness, bereavement or absences while attending to other council business.

An attendance record document will be published each quarter.

Governing Body and committee attendance records

The Governing Body is a decision-making body, made up of the mayor and 20 ward councillors. To enable efficient decision-making, the Governing Body delegates powers to committees. 

The mayor, deputy mayor and all councillors are members of committees of the whole.  The mayor can determine what these committees will look like and how many there are.

These documents show the attendance of Auckland’s mayor and councillors at the Governing Body meetings, committee meetings and workshops. They also show attendance by committee.

Forums, working parties and meetings with co-governance entities are not included.

Absences during the period shown may include prearranged leave, illness and bereavements. Absences from meetings while on council business are recorded separately.

Three week-long meeting breaks are scheduled each year, during school holiday periods. Members often take additional leave during these times.

We publish these attendance records each quarter.
