The 10-Year Budget 2021-2031 Consultation Document – closed 22 March 2021

Below is the link to the Auckland Council Recovery Budget which is their 10-year Budget for 2021-2031, otherwise known as the Long-term Plan for that period. The Local Government Act 2002 requires each council to publicly consult on and adopt a long-term plan every three years.

The draft budget was based on the best information currently available. Due to the impacts of COVID-19, the financial outlook for the council group remains highly uncertain. They have therefore based their financial projections on a set of key assumptions about the health restrictions and economic impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. These assumptions were informed by a range of internal and external sources following a robust process under the oversight of the Audit and Risk Committee. They have also undertaken sensitivity analysis to understand the impact if the situation is better or worse than they have assumed.
