More about Listening Post

Listening Post membership is free.

As a member, you can be involved as little or as much as you like. You can simply be informed, or you can provide input into the council's proposals for Auckland city. The extent to which you get involved is up to you.

You can remain a member of the panel as long as you like.

Anyone who has an e-mail address can join - you do not have to be an Auckland city resident or ratepayer. People of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life are encouraged to take part. You do not need to be living in Auckland.

You will receive regular Listening Post email newsletters about our consultation outcomes. We will tell what the public have told us and how the council has used the public's feedback. We will also tell you about upcoming consultation activities and how you can get involved.

We are bound by the law under three relevant pieces of legislation: Privacy Act 1993, Local Government Official Information and Meeting Act 1987 and the Local Government Act 2002. Our commitment to these Acts and codes of ethical research practice ensures that we will treat your details and information with the utmost respect.
