Auckland’s local boards face a $6M funding shortfall under a new equity-focused model, prompting potential service changes or fees.
Eight Auckland local boards face a combined $6 million funding gap under a new Fairer Funding model aimed at reducing long-standing inequities since 2010.
While no board is receiving a funding cut, some will see smaller increases as funds are reallocated to address historical disparities.
The city has committed $50 million over two years to ease the transition, but boards may still need to consider service adjustments, fee hikes, or a targeted rate of about $27 per property.
Councillors have criticized the lack of follow-through on prior support promises, with some opposing the plan’s advancement.
Public consultation runs from February 27 to March 29, with final decisions expected by May and June.
