History

The city was formed by the amalgamation of Waitemata City with the boroughs of Henderson, New Lynn, and Glen Eden in the 1989 re-organisation of local government. On 31 October 2010, the city council was abolished and the area incorporated into the Auckland super city, coming under the leadership of the Mayor of Auckland, Len Brown.[1]

Electoral system

The elected council consisted of the Mayor and 14 councillors representing the four wards:[2]

  • Henderson Ward (4 councillors)
  • Massey Ward (4 councillors)
  • New Lynn Ward (4 councillors)
  • Waitakere Ward (2 councillors)

The mayor was directly elected across the whole city council area using a First Past the Post electoral system. Each electoral term was for three years. The last mayor was Bob Harvey.[3]
