About us

City Vision has an established record of working for the communities in Auckland and we pledge to continue as an effective community voice for our city. 

We’ve achieved results, combining a progressive vision with responsible financial management. We’re the only team to commit to public ownership of strategic assets, investment in transport to get Auckland moving, and action on climate change.  Our policy and principles are clear and our track record is proven.  

We focus on Albert-Eden, Puketāpapa and Waitematā but work with other like-minded groups and individuals across the region to ensure that our libraries, parks, pools and water are kept as community-owned assets.  Our candidates for the Puketāpapa Local Board stand as Roskill Community Voice.

You can learn more about what we stand for here, including information about our Guiding Principles and Policies.


What is City Vision?

City Vision is an Auckland centre-left local body political group. We represent the local Labour and Green parties and other progressive people active in their communities but not aligned to any political party (community independents).

City Vision was formed in 1998 to work to protect and develop our city and communities. From the start, we have championed policies to grow Auckland into a liveable, safe, connected,  healthy, economically and environmentally sustainable city for everyone to enjoy. Our candidates have a strong track record of service to ratepayers and Auckland’s communities.

Supporting our candidates and connecting communities

We don’t just come together at the beginning of an election year and then shut down again when the election is over. City Vision is here to support our elected members as they work with you to make strong communities. We respond directly to your questions and help you reach the right person to help you. We are active throughout the term and regularly report back to our communities on what we have achieved. You can find our Accountability Reports here.
