How does the ARC plan to achieve its objectives?
The Auckland Regional Council has two strategic plans.
- The Annual Plan 2007/08 sets out plans for this year (July 2007 to June 2008). This plan is based on year two of the Long-Term Council Community Plan and includes amendments to that ten-year plan.
- The Long-Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) The LTCCP 2006-16 is a ten-year plan that identifies the role that the ARC will play in achieving a sustainable, liveable and prosperous region.

Local Governance Statement
Section 40 of the Local Government Act 2002 requires that all councils in New Zealand must prepare, within six months of the triennial elections a local governance statement. The purpose is to provide information on functions, responsibilities, organisational structures, consultation policies, the electoral system and similar information to electors and to ensure that this information is publicly available.
The Local Governance Statement for the Auckland Regional Council was prepared in March 2008 and made publicly available in April 2008.
