What Aure Kommune does

Aure Kommune is a Norwegian municipality (kommunenummer 1576, organization number 988 913 898) located in Aure, Møre og Romsdal county, in the Nordmøre region. It provides statutory public services to residents and businesses within its geographic jurisdiction, organized across six operational units: Utvikling og service, Oppvekst og integrering, Omsorg, Plan og drift, Helse og familie, and Kultur og næring. Service coverage spans kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, adult education, healthcare (medical offices, nursing home, home care, mental health), social services via the NAV Aure joint office, agriculture and forestry support, business development, waste management (via ReMidt), roads/water/sewer infrastructure, and cultural facilities including Aure Arena, Aure kulturskole, and Aure Folkebibliotek.

The municipality's underlying technology stack centers on the aure.kommune.no citizen portal, complemented by the Min side self-service portal for invoices, property information, tax details, and secure messaging, an online appointment booking system for caseworker meetings, and EHF electronic invoice processing. Integrated third-party systems include Surf Cicero Suite (library catalog), Visma (school/nursery parent communication), fticket.no (Aure Arena ticketing), and Regionalforvaltning.no (grant applications). Social media presence spans Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and an RSS feed, with live Kommune-TV broadcasting of council meetings.

Aure Kommune is a public sector entity funded by municipal taxes, property tax (eiendomsskatt) from residential and commercial properties, state transfers based on population-need formulas, and service fees (kindergarten, healthcare, building permits, waste, utilities). It is governed by an elected municipal council led by ordfører Hanne Berit Brekken (Ap) for the 2023–2027 term, with Håvard Sagli serving as kommunedirektør (chief administrative officer). The municipality collaborates closely with neighboring Smøla and Heim kommuner, Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune, NAV, and Innovasjon Norge, and is a founding party in the Trondheimsleia Kjernekraft AS joint venture established April 23, 2025 to develop up to 1,500 MW of nuclear power at Taftøyan.

Others

• Trondheimsleia Kjernekraft AS: Joint venture company established April 23, 2025 between Aure, Heim, Norsk kjernekraft, and NEAS to develop up to 1,500 MW nuclear power at Taftøyan. An economic-development partner jointly owned by Aure.
• Bygdevekstprosjektet: Joint village growth project operated by Aure and Smøla municipalities focused on vibrant centers, meeting places, and attractive housing. An Aure-led initiative that is directly comparable to other rural Norwegian community development programs.
• Innovasjon Norge: Norwegian state innovation agency to which Aure refers businesses for development funding and advisory. A funding and ecosystem partner rather than a direct comparator, but a structural counterpart for municipal business development.
• ReMidt IKS: Inter-municipal waste management company (interkommunalt selskap) that Aure kommune uses for refuse collection and recycling services. A service-as-partner rather than a competitor, but a key operational counterpart for Aure's environmental services.

Broad incumbents

• Kristiansund kommune: Larger nearby municipality in Møre og Romsdal that delivers fire and chimney sweep services (NIBR) on Aure's behalf. A broader incumbent peer providing shared services to smaller municipalities in the region.

Comparable size, rural character, and operational scope make it a direct functional peer.

Regional players

• Fræna kommune (historical) / Hustadvika kommune: Mid-sized Norwegian municipality in the same Nordmøre/Romsdal region. Comparable municipal administrative functions and service offerings, operating at a different scale within the same geography.
