history
Based on the Local Government Act 1974 , the Franklin District was re-formed in 1989 by merging the Pukekohe Borough , Waiuku Borough , Tuakau Borough , Franklin County and the northern part of Raglan County . At that time New Zealand was administratively organized and divided into counties , towns and boroughs . The law made it possible for the Labor government at the time to create 86 in 850 different administrative units. In an administrative reform in 2000, the regional administrations were reorganized again. This left 11 purely regional councils, 12 city councils and 54 district councils. On November 1, 2010, the Auckland Regional Council was then merged with seven Territorial Authority (local authorities) and the Auckland Council was formed. the northern part of the Franklin District is one of the seven. The southern part was assigned to the Waikato District .
The former district today
