Auckland Council maintains a growth scenario to inform investment decision-making across the region. The Auckland Growth Scenario provides household, employment and population projections over a 30-year period. It is based on regional level population information commissioned from Stats NZ and is primarily intended to provide a numerical distribution of growth that is aligned with the timing and sequencing of growth in the Future Development Strategy 2023, over time. Data is at MSM Zone scale, and provides annual projections of population, households and employment (MEC) for use in strategic planning between 2022 and 2052. This version is an update (to employment projections only) of AGSv1 as used in the 2024 LTP.

This statistic shows the biggest cities in New Zealand in 2022. In 2022, approximately **** million people lived in Auckland, making it the biggest city in New Zealand.

This dataset is the definitive set of statistical area 2 (SA2) boundaries for 2022 as defined by Stats NZ (the custodian). This version contains 2,260 SA2 features.

SA2s were introduced as part of the Statistical Standard for Geographic Areas 2018 (SSGA2018) which replaced the New Zealand Standard Areas Classification (NZSAC1992). The SA2 geography replaces the (NZSAC1992) area unit geography.

SA2 is an output geography that provides higher aggregations of population data than can be provided at the statistical area 1 (SA1) level. The SA2 geography aims to reflect communities that interact together socially and economically. In populated areas, SA2s generally contain similar sized populations.

SA2s are built from SA1s and either define or aggregate to define urban rural areas, territorial authorities, and regional councils. SA2s in city council areas generally have a population of 2,000–4,000 residents while SA2s in district council areas generally have a population of 1,000–3,000 residents. In rural areas, many SA2s have fewer than 1,000 residents because they are in conservation areas or contain sparse populations that cover a large area.

This dataset is the definitive set of annually released boundries of local boards for Auckland and territorial authorities for the rest of New Zealand for 2022, as defined by the territorial authorities and/or Local Government Commission and maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian), clipped to the coastline.

This clipped version has been created for map creation/cartographic purposes and so does not fully represent the official full extent boundaries. This version contains 21 local boards in the Auckland Council and 66 territorial authority boundaries for the rest New Zealand.

For statistical outputs that use territorial authorities to aggregate and report data Auckland Council is treated as a single geographic entity. This can hide meaningful patterns and trends for a significant portion of the population. A solution was to create a new classification of territorial authorities that includes the local boards for Auckland. The Auckland Council was established in 2010 under the Local Government (Tamaki Makaurau Reorganisation) Act 2009. Seven territorial authorities within the Auckland Region were abolished and replaced by the unitary authority Auckland Council. Local boards fall within the community board classification.

The New Zealand infrastructure industry presents a robust growth trajectory, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 3.00% from 2019 to 2033. Driven by government initiatives focusing on upgrading aging infrastructure, increasing urbanization, and a commitment to sustainable development, the market is experiencing significant expansion. Key segments like transportation infrastructure (railways, roads, airports, and waterways) and social infrastructure (schools, hospitals, and defense projects) are witnessing substantial investments. The burgeoning tourism sector further fuels demand for improved transport links and upgraded facilities. While specific market size figures for 2019-2024 are not provided, considering a projected CAGR above 3% and a 2025 market size (let's assume a value of $5 billion for illustrative purposes, acknowledging this is an estimation based on industry knowledge and commonly observed market size in comparable economies), we can project considerable future growth. Significant opportunities exist for both domestic and international companies involved in construction, engineering, and related services. However, the industry faces certain challenges. These include potential labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and the increasing costs of raw materials. Effective project management, sustainable procurement practices, and skilled workforce development will be critical for sustained growth. The regional distribution is concentrated in major cities such as Wellington, Auckland, and Hamilton, reflecting their higher population density and economic activity. Nevertheless, there is potential for expansion into other regions as government infrastructure projects are implemented nationwide. The diverse range of infrastructure projects, coupled with ongoing government investment, positions the New Zealand infrastructure market for continued, albeit nuanced, expansion. The presence of both international players like Obayashi Corporation and local firms such as Fulton Hogan, demonstrates a dynamic and competitive landscape. Recent developments include: November 2022: Hawkins, a construction company, was awarded a contract to build the Court Theatre's new central city home by Christchurch City Council. The Council funded more than USD 46 million toward the development of the Performing Arts Precinct, which includes the construction of The Court Theatre, the public realm, and landscaping., November 2022: Fulton Hogan, a construction company, completed the first of four-floor slab pours for the new Redoubt Reservoir project. The construction work in the reservoir includes 650 ton of steel reinforcing, and the project is expected to be completed in March 2024.. Notable trends are: Increasing Demand for Transport Infrastructure Driving the Market.
