He aha te wāhi tūmatawhānui? What is a public place?

A public place is any site that Auckland Council or a council-controlled organisation owns, manages or maintains, and is open for use to the public.

Public places include:

• roads
• footpaths
• public squares
• grass verges
• public gardens
• reserves
• parks
• beaches
• wharves
• access ways
• sports fields.

There are some places where council-controlled organisations need to give permission independently. Contact us to find out more.
