Auckland Sustainability Framework

The Auckland Sustainability Framework (ASF) is a first for Auckland. It provides the direction that the region's local authorities and central government agencies need so that they can work together to develop a sustainable future for the region.

The Framework was endorsed by the Regional Growth Forum on 5 September 2007 as the region's overarching sustainability framework and has since been endorsed by all the region's councils.

It describes a series of aspirational sustainability goals and the shifts we need to make in thinking and action to attain those goals.

It was written with a 100 year view and is considered to be a ‘living document'. It is dynamic and intended to evolve and change over time.
