Manurewa Local Board
In 2025/2026 we plan to invest $9.4 million in capital spend to renew and develop our assets (resources we own). We also plan to invest $25 million to maintain and operate these assets and deliver local activities (operating spend).
These amounts include $5.8 million extra operating spend and $547,000 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.
