Introduction

The purpose of this document is to provide accurate, up-to-date information to incoming migrants to Auckland, New Zealand, on a range of topics covering many aspects of life in the city and its environs.

Auckland, the “City of Sails”, is the largest city in New Zealand, which is a multi-cultural society located in the South Pacific ocean to the east of Australia. New Zealand is also known by the Maori name, Aotearoa, literally translated as “The Land of the Long White Cloud”.
