Whau Local Board

Whau Local Board is a local government authority in Auckland that oversees seven suburbs: New Lynn, Green Bay, Kelston, Rosebank, Avondale, New Windsor, and Blockhouse Bay. The board manages community issues and local affairs across this western section of the city.

The Whau Local Board was established in 2010 during a nationwide restructuring of Auckland's local government system. This reorganization created the board to bring decision-making closer to communities in the area.

The board facilitates community meetings, events, and grant programs to support local initiatives across its 26.82 square kilometer territory.

Board meetings take place in New Lynn and are generally open to the public. Residents and interested people can stay informed about local decisions and community matters by contacting the administration or accessing their published information.

The board takes its name from the Whau River, which flows through this part of the region. This area has become an important hub for civic engagement and community participation in western Auckland.
