Background

Incumbent mayor James Parr was re-elected unopposed with no alternative candidates emerging.[1] At the same time the Borough of Grey Lynn was amalgamated with Auckland City. Grey Lynn's mayor George Baildon and its seven councillors were made members of the Auckland City Council until the next elections, which saw the number of councillors increased from eighteen to twenty-one.[2]
