Responsibilities of the council and management
The efficient running of the council depends on the clear division between the roles of council and management.
The council concentrates on setting policy and strategy and providing a clear direction for management to follow. Management's role is to implement the decisions of the council.
Find out about our CEO and Directors and the organisational structure.
Council meetings
The full council (mayor and councillors) and its standing committees have regular monthly ordinary meetings (except for January). Additional meetings are called as required and are usually termed "extraordinary meetings".
Find out more about the mayor and councillors.
Find out more about when the meetings are held, agendas and minutes.
Community boards
Manukau city has eight community boards made up of people elected directly to the board, plus the councillors who represent each ward.
The boards provide a ‘grass-roots' linkage with the community, helping the council understand each community's distinct requirements. They also have some decision-making authority.
