Waipapa Taumata Rau | University of Auckland is New Zealand’s largest and leading university. We celebrate our location in the beautiful harbour city of Auckland | Tamaki Makaurau, our unique position in Aotearoa New Zealand and our place within the Pacific. Our te reo Māori name was gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, the Indigenous peoples of the Auckland area, and symbolises that this is a place where diverse world views are shared and lifelong journeys of inquiry, learning and service begin. Since its founding in 1883, the University of Auckland has grown to become New Zealand's flagship, research-led university, known for the excellence of its teaching, its research, and its service to local, national and international communities.

Auckland Council serves over 1.5 million Aucklanders providing services, policies and decision-making. We’re here to serve Auckland and build a more prosperous region, one that gives a voice to our citizens, and makes it a great place to live, visit and invest. Our talented people support Auckland’s elected representatives by providing specialist advice, implementing decisions and delivering services like rubbish and recycling, resource and building consents, bylaws, events and parks. Our vision is to create a world-class city where talent wants to live.
