Territorial authorities are the second tier of local government in New Zealand,below regional councils. There are 67 territorial authorities:13 city councils,53 district councils and the Chatham Islands Council. District councils serve a combination of rural and urban communities,while city councils administer the larger urban areas. Five territorial authorities also perform the functions of a regional council and thus are unitary authorities. The Chatham Islands Council is a sui generis territorial authority that is similar to a unitary authority.
