Our funding for 2026/2027

We have been allocated $7.8 million for capital investment and $15.2 million for operational spend for 2026/2027.

Capital investment

We use these funds to renew and develop assets like:

  • community facilities
  • parks and sports fields.

Operating spend

We use these funds to run our services like:

  • community centres
  • libraries and parks
  • community and environmental programmes and events.

The $15.2 million for operational spend in 2026/2027 includes:

  • $13.3 million for community services
  • $800,000 for environmental services
  • $1 million for governance (how we manage our local board area).

These figures are rounded to the nearest $100,000.

A lot of our operating budget will pay for existing contracts to maintain community facilities and open spaces.

Extra funding for 2026/2027

Our operational spend includes extra funding for 2026/2027. However, a lot of this will help cover growing costs to provide our existing services. This includes increases in costs for:

  • utilities like water and electricity
  • maintaining community facilities like sport centres and libraries, and open spaces like parks and reserves
  • staffing.

Once we cover these costs, we will still have $100,000 more for operating spend in 2026/2027 compared to what we had in 2025/2026.

What we plan to deliver in 2026/2027

In 2026/2027, we plan to:

  • continue providing the local services, projects and programmes that are important to our community
  • invest more in key areas and make changes to service fees and charges. This includes:

Key projects planned for 2026/2027

In 2026/2027, we also plan to:

  • continue developing Monte Cecilia Park in Royal Oak
  • continue work on the Mt Roskill Library and Community Hub integration project
  • open a new neighbourhood park at 3-7 Howell Crescent, Mt Roskill
  • continue improving sports and recreation facilities as set out in the Puketāpapa Sports and Active Recreation Facilities Plan
  • continue projects to improve the natural environment and water quality of Wairaki stream. This includes ‘daylighting’ to uncover part of the stream that flows through a culvert. This will also help to prevent future flooding.
