Community
What we are planning for our communities in the Annual Plan 2025/2026.
In the 2025/2026 financial year, we plan to:
- implement fairer funding for local boards
- increase the Sports and Recreation Facilities Investment Fund to provide more sports facilities in Auckland
- 'deliver differently' so we do not have to rely on ageing assets and infrastructure by:
- combining more services like libraries and council services
- improving our processes
- delivering more online services, like e-books
- better manage how we buy and organise community services
- progress urgent repairs and upgrades to community assets to:
- protect our facilities from damage
- support high-priority growth projects like new or renewed open spaces, parks, community arts programmes and Māori and Pasifika programmes
- improve animal control services through:
- increased resourcing
- service improvements
- increased capacity at our animal shelters
- improve community safety by introducing initiatives like safety hubs and compliance wardens.
