Auckland Council road maintenance initiatives

Overview

Auckland Council has relaunched its ‘Pothole Promise’ campaign, pledging to repair 95% of reported potholes on the city’s busiest arterial and regional roads within 24 hours. For other sealed roads, the council aims for repairs within five working days.

The council manages approximately 8,000km of local roads. This initiative is part of a broader road maintenance and renewal strategy that included resurfacing more than 500km of sealed roads last year, with plans for an expanded programme in 2026/27. Officials are encouraging motorists to report issues via the council’s website to assist with ongoing daily inspections and repairs.
