The Auckland Plan

Auckland Plan 2050

The Auckland Plan 2050 sets the direction for how Auckland will grow and develop over the next 30 years. It responds to the key challenges we face today – high population growth, sharing prosperity among all Aucklanders and reducing environmental damage.

To address these challenges, the plan identifies six outcomes that will deliver a better Auckland:

  • Belonging and participation
  • Māori identity and wellbeing
  • Homes and places
  • Transport and access
  • Environment and cultural heritage
  • Opportunity and prosperity.

Also included in the plan is our Future Development Strategy. This describes how and where growth can occur over the next 30 years to achieve those outcomes, guiding critical investment in planning and infrastructure.

Implementing the Auckland Plan 2050

The Auckland Plan 2050 has been developed by Aucklanders, for Auckland. Auckland has a shared responsibility for implementing it through the investment and action of:

  • central and local government
  • mana whenua
  • the private sector
  • institutions and non-government organisations
  • Auckland's communities.

We must work together and innovate, try new approaches, experiment and do things differently to bring about transformational change.

The Auckland Plan 2050 is supported by other strategies and action plans that provide detail on how the outcomes set out in the Auckland Plan can be delivered.

Monitoring progress

A monitoring report is published annually to track the progress of the Auckland Plan 2050. This report uses 33 measures to analyse and track our progress in delivering the six outcomes. An annual scorecard provides a visual presentation of the monitoring report.

Three-yearly progress report

A more detailed progress report is published every three years. This report includes information provided in the annual monitoring report.

The first three-yearly progress report was completed in February 2020.
