Franklin Local Board, Community board in Auckland Region, New Zealand.
The Franklin Local Board is a local government authority in Auckland Region that oversees a large territory stretching between the Hauraki Gulf and Manukau Harbour. It coordinates services across multiple towns including Pukekohe, Waiuku, and Beachlands through nine elected representatives who serve three-year terms.
The Board was created in 2010 during Auckland's administrative reorganization and replaced earlier local government structures. This restructuring aimed to better serve the region's growing population.
