Manukau City Council has several Council-Controlled Organisations (CCOs) to independently manage council facilities or deliver services to the community.
The council's CCOs are a mixture of limited-liability companies owned wholly by the council, a joint venture, and trusts in which the council appoints the majority of the trustees.
Each CCO prepares a Statement of Intent setting out for the coming year its objectives, scope of activities and performance targets.
