About Knowledge Auckland

Knowledge Auckland, an Auckland Council website, is a place to find and share research, information and data about Auckland including Auckland Council research and technical publications. This website also hosts publications and research resources from a variety of other sources (government reports, other councils' publications, research organisation reports, university research publications, community organisation reports, etc.) and aims to provide decision-makers, researchers, and communities with good access to the information and analysis needed to plan for Auckland’s future.

  1. Keyword searching is the best approach, particularly if you know words from the title. For example: Auckland housing, greenhouse gas, kauri, voters, watercourse assessment, walkable. For title and subject searches, the more keywords or phrases the better. For example: changes in indigenous ecosystems, Auckland Plan 2050.
  2. For exact matches use "+" with search terms. For example, water+quality | city+centre. 
  3. At the search results page, use the sort by options "latest" for recently published reports. Use the "list" layout options to display a list of your search results. "List" and "Grid" buttons, right side of the search results page. 
  4. Search using a publication’s number (if known): TR2023/5, TR2024/7, TP19, TP58, TP197 etc. For a list of all council technical reports for a particular year use this search: TR2022 TR2023 TR2024 etc
  5. Search using an author’s name: Craig Fredrickson, J A Allpress, Kathryn. If you only know the author's family name, search for that.
  6. Search using geographic names, including names of local boards: Albert-Eden, Ponsonby, Manukau, Waikato etc
  7. For a subject or topic approach, click on the images on the home page: People, Natural Environment, Economy etc
