Auckland Council

Regional Facilities Auckland

Auckland Zoo is part of Regional Facilities Auckland, a Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) that provides a regional approach to running and developing Auckland's arts, culture and heritage, leisure, sport and entertainment venues.

Auckland is New Zealand's largest city. Uniquely set between two harbours, amongst 11 extinct volcanoes and numerous islands in the Hauraki Gulf, it makes it a great place to live, work and visit.
Auckland Council is here to promote the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of Auckland, both now and for the future.
