Albert-Eden Local Board

In 2022/2023 we plan to invest $4.2 million to renew and develop assets and $16.5 million to maintain and operate assets, as well as provide local services, programmes and initiatives.

What we have been doing in your local board area

Each year we deliver activities and services in your local board area. These are based on our 2020 Local Board Plan, which sets our three-year direction for the local board.

• During the last year we focused on supporting our community and local businesses to recover from the impacts of COVID-19 through grants and placemaking activities in town centres.
• We also delivered a programme of renewals across the area, including significant track replacement work at Te Auaunga/Oakley Creek and Eric Armishaw Park.
• We continued to support restoration projects in parks and urban streams and are grateful for the ongoing help from local volunteers.

What we propose in your local board area in 2022/2023

Our priority is to help strengthen and build resilience in communities impacted by COVID-19 lockdowns, through support for library services, volunteer programmes, community services and business associations.

• We will ensure our parks and open spaces provide opportunities for active and passive leisure and recreational activities, as well as meeting the changing needs of communities adapting to housing intensification.
• We will bring climate change to the fore through low carbon planning and activation, an ongoing tree planting and restoration programme and sustainable eco-neighbourhood projects.
• We will investigate creative ways of connecting to, engaging with and hearing from our youth, children and diverse populations.
