Aucklanders have until this Sunday (29 March) to provide their feedback on Auckland Council’s plan for the year ahead.
Public feedback on Auckland Council’s Annual Plan 2026/2027 closes 11.59pm this Sunday (29 March 2026). Aucklanders are encouraged to visit the AK Have Your Say website to see what the council has planned for Auckland from July.
Councillor Greg Sayers encourages Aucklanders to check out the plan and take a few minutes to pass on some feedback.
“This is one of the best opportunities to help elected representatives with decision-making – we want to hear what Aucklanders think about the plan for next year and what’s front of mind, for them,” says Cr Sayers.
The annual plan sets out the council’s services, activities and spend for the year ahead.

What’s in the plan?
The City Rail Link (CRL) launch is a major highlight expected to be the centrepiece of significant improvements in transport connectivity, capacity and levels of service across Auckland’s integrated transport system. It will improve Aucklanders’ ability to move around the region by delivering more trains and quicker, easier journeys.
– The 2026/2027 plan prioritises transport, water and local boards responding to their local communities’ needs.
– $3.9 billion will be invested into vital infrastructure across Auckland.
– $5.3 billion dedicated to essential services, like pools, libraries, animal management, public transport and waste collection.
– A proposed overall rates increase of 7.9 per cent (for the average value residential property), as previously agreed in the Long-term Plan 2024-2034.
– All of Auckland’s 21 local board plans for the coming year – this includes priorities for local communities and key services.- The region’s long-term future is also up for input – to inform on transport planning, water service strategies and the Long-term Plan 2027-2037.
