The existing Auckland City Council remained in place but greatly expanded, absorbing several surrounding borough councils. Incumbent Mayor Catherine Tizard, a Labour Party backed candidate, was re-elected with a huge majority while the council saw a strong performance by the Citizens & Ratepayers ticket.
