Local authority financial statistics: Year ended June 2025 – information release
26 May 2026
Local authority financial statistics provide information on the annual performance of core non-trading activities of all New Zealand’s territorial and regional councils.
Data quality
The Local Authority Census for the June 2025 year did not achieve full coverage. Historically, the legal requirements to provide financial data to Stats NZ and the Local Government Act, have meant that Local Authority Census returns and annual reports have been available for all units.
For the units with unavailable data for the 2025 year, imputed values were derived using information from the respective published annual plans for the 2024/2025 period.
