Community engagement hub

As the provider of Auckland’s water and wastewater services, we directly and indirectly affect the quality of life of all Aucklanders – and the wider wellbeing of New Zealand. We take this responsibility seriously and seek to create shared value with the community through a range of forums and information channels.


We engage with the public at all stages of project planning and development. As projects get underway, we also actively connect with stakeholders and communities, with a view to minimising disruption. For larger projects, we may set up dedicated community liaison groups.

The groups we consult with include:

  • Auckland Council
  • Environmental groups
  • Community groups
  • Wider public
  • Local boards
  • Suppliers and contractors
  • Infrastructure providers
  • Mana whenua
