Auckland Council is seeking expressions of interest from Aucklanders who are passionate about their city and would consider taking on a full-time or part-time positions as part of the team that governs Tāmaki Makaurau. This is an exciting opportunity to play a significant role in the future growth and direction for Auckland.

What would you do if Auckland elects you? Now’s the time to start considering the possibilities. In October 2025, a new set of representatives will be elected to lead our city of 1.7 million and make decisions for its future. We want to hear from talented individuals who are keen to take Auckland to the next level.

Tāmaki Makaurau's leadership is a big team, with a range of roles and responsibilities: from the mayor and ward councillors, who make regional decisions as members of the council’s governing body, to local board members who represent 21 areas of Tāmaki Makaurau and make local decisions.

If you’re interested, join our free webinar on Wednesday 11 December, 5pm to learn everything there is to know about standing and being elected - more details and save the date to your calendar here.

**Key responsibilities**:

- Supporting a high-performing team in promoting a vision for Auckland
- Providing leadership to achieve this vision
- Contributing feedback to develop council plans, policies and budgets
- Setting rates and bylaws
- Governing the council and its organisations
- Making decisions on local matters
- Engaging with local community
- Proposing local bylaws and local targeted rates

**He kōrero mōu: About you**

You’re a decision maker with excellent strategic-thinking abilities, good communication and community engagement skills.

If elected, you’ll be taking on a critical leadership role for our large, diverse and growing region. You’ll guide and make decisions on how best to allocate resources and drive value for money for ratepayers and Aucklanders alike.

Elected members will need to show a combination of skills in stewardship and advocacy on behalf of the people they represent.

These positions are for a three-year term which require availability and willingness to commit to weekly meetings, special events and more.

**Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou: What we offer**

It’s a truly rewarding opportunity to make a difference in our city, which will directly benefit you and your community.

The role is paid and there are different levels of remuneration depending on the specific roles and responsibilities of elected members.

Local board members are part-time positions and salaries start from $31,000 to $67,000, with local board chairs being full-time, starting from $62,000 to $ 112,000. Ward councillors are expected to commit 40 hours or more and receive a base salary of $112,000. The mayor is paid just under $307,000.

Elected members’ salaries are set by the independent Remuneration Authority, which vary according to the size of the area and their role and is reviewed triennially.
