Council Controlled Organisations

We have a number of Council Controlled Organisations (CCO).

A Council Controlled Organisation is an organisation that Council has the ability to appoint at least 50 per cent of the directors, or holds at least 50 per cent of the voting rights.

If a Council Controlled Organisation operates a trading undertaking to make a profit, it is a Council Controlled Trading Organisation.

Local Government Funding Agency

Local Government Funding Agency is a limited liability company. While Whangarei only holds 3.32 per cent of the shares, it is a Council Controlled Organisation by nature of many local authorities jointly having at least 50 per cent of the shares/voting rights. Local Government Funding Agency raises debt funding on behalf of local authorities on terms that are more favourable than if the local authority raised the debt directly.
