Albert-Eden Local Board

In the 2025/2026 financial year, we plan to invest $7.3 million in capital spend to renew and develop our assets (resources we own). We also plan to invest $21.1 million to maintain and operate these assets and deliver local activities (operating spend).

These amounts include $3.7 million extra operating spend and $3.5 million extra capital spend as part of the council's 'fairer funding for local boards' model as set out in the Long-term Plan 2024-2034 (10-year budget).

However, we might need to use some of these extra funds to cover unavoidable increases to the costs of existing services.

What we propose for the Albert-Eden Local Board area in 2025/2026

In the 2025/2026 financial year, we plan to:

  • increase our community programmes at libraries and community centres in Pt Chevalier, Mt Albert, Sandringham and Epsom
  • support our community leasing groups to share their spaces to:
    • help sustain them over time
    • continue providing a great range of community services and activities
  • support our business associations and vibrant town centres so people can live, work, shop and play in our local villages
  • talk with young people and children, to better understand what is important to them in their area
  • increase neighbourhood safety and resilience, community wellbeing and awareness of how to prepare for an emergency
  • reduce waste and increase awareness and benefits of the Waiōrea Community Recycling Centre
  • deliver the design and restoration plans we have made for local parks, and trial a portable bike pump track in parks in our area
  • increase the number of local arts and active recreation events and programmes in parks and town centres.
