Auckland Council’s local board plans are strategic three-year plans that are developed based on community feedback.
Local boards can now make more decisions about services and facilities in their area. However, the cost of living and providing these services has gone up so we need to do things differently, including prioritising spending.
I want to hear your thoughts on the key aspects that will guide the plan's development.
This will help me understand what matters most to you and your community.
There are five key aspects of our local board plans. They are:
· Our people: supporting people in our diverse communities.
· Our environment: protecting our natural environment.
· Our community: supporting community participation with our services and infrastructure.
· Our places: supporting our growth, development, transport and accessibility.
· Our economy: supporting our economic development.
Be part of the conversation early before any important decisions are made. Tell me what is important to you within our five areas of focus.
Email me at sarah.trotman@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or give me a call on 021487583, I’m always up for coffee!
So, what happens after you give me feedback?
· We will use your feedback, along with input from the community and existing plans, to create a draft plan for Waitematā Local Board.
· In mid-2023, we will publish the draft local board plan and seek further feedback on any final thoughts you and the community may have to ensure the plan is heading in the right direction.
· By 31 October 2023 we will report back any final changes based on your feedback and notify you when the plan is adopted.
Thanks for working with us to make Waitematā a great place for all. (Sarah Trotman, ONZM)
