Auckland Live
Auckland Live, known as The Edge until 2014,[1] is New Zealand's largest performing arts and convention centre complex / organisation. It is a council-controlled trading organisation of Auckland Council and comprises:
- Aotea Centre, a modern events centre
- Aotea Square, a public square between the venues
- Auckland Town Hall, a historical building with a well-known concert venue
- Civic Theatre, a large historical atmospheric theatre

In 2009, Auckland Live recorded attendances of 736,600 at an unspecified number of events delivered as part of the centre's "Arts Agenda" and "Commercial Entertainment" programmes.[2]
Governance
Auckland Live has a board of six and is chaired by Richard Waddel and the deputy chair is Peter Stubbs.
In 2009, its board of directors alone were paid a total remuneration of $139,000. In the same year, the top 10 employees remunerations totalled more than $1.79 million, some $400,000 more than the direct cost of the Arts Agenda programme.[2]
It was incorporated into the new council body Regional Facilities Auckland in 2010 and no longer produces a separate annual report.[3]
