History

Starting point for the consideration all the towns and districts of the Auckland region was merge, the fast-growing metropolitan Auckland to create a government and administration that can quickly and efficiently solve all the infrastructure problems of the metropolis. With a Regional Councils four independent cities and three district councils, each in turn, taken together, another 30 local community had boards ( community committees ) as a subdivision, it was believed not to be able to resolve adequately the problems of fast-growing region Auckland.

In 2002, the various councils of the region through the Local Government Act 2002 were equipped with the skills to be able to work together across for structure planning. In 2004, then became the Auckland Regional Transport Authority and Auckland Regional Holdings founded with the Local Government Auckland Amendment Act 2004 with the aim of cross- plan in terms of transportation and storm water management for the entire region and be able to work. In the same year developed " A - region " approach.

After three years of discussion, a Royal Commission was established and charged with the examination of the merger of the towns and districts of the Auckland region in 2007 finally. In March 2009, the Commission issued a very detailed report with the recommendation to consider the Auckland region politically and administratively as a city and dissolve the eight separate Council. That same month, the government of the Commission's recommendation, decided to largely follow. In May 2009, the Auckland Transition Agency ( ATA) was established to implement the plan, which was preparing the merger in accordance with the requirements of the New Zealand government politically and organizationally over 16 months.

With the public election on October 9, 2010, the citizens of the Auckland region had ultimately to give even the task and the possibility of the Auckland Council, including its bodies, the political legitimacy. With the approval of the citizens of Auckland Council took finally on November 1, 2010 to his work. The Auckland Transition Agency ( ATA) was thus overridden.
