Clarks Beach, Stevenson Reserve - layout of playground, skate park, toilets
It would make things much easier for parents if the skate park and the playground were close to each-other, with the toilet block nearby too. It makes much more sense to have all the facilities close together, with some picnic tables and a water fountain. This would be so cool for Clarks Beach.

Encourage Auckland Council to make the Manukau Forum a meaningful enterprise
The Forum, frustrated, commissioned a report from Dr Nigel Bradly on how the relationships to the Council could be enhanced, and the desirability of getting a better operation. The Council has had that report for a number of months. Actions to implement the recommendations - which I believe all Local Boards around the harbour have endorsed, will speak much louder than the sweet words we have heard from the Mayor and Councillors to date.

Glenbrook Vintage Railway - Tamakae Reserve Extension
With over 30,000 passengers annually, the Glenbrook Vintage Railway (GVR) is a gateway for domestic tourism in the Waiuku area and Franklin region. Being a steam railway representing a bygone era, the heritage aspect compliments Waiuku's status as a town rich with its own historical past and heritage status. The GVR has always been committed to bringing the railway into the Tamakae Reserve and our commitment can be measured by our current temporary terminus opposite the Cosmopolitan Club. We now need to extend a further 800m into Tamakae Reserve. With the ongoing expansion of the GVR, by way of special events, running train trips around New Zealand – departing from Waiuku, extending the railway to the Tamakae Reserve will provide greater opportunities for GVR to host more events in the Waiuku township, connect Waiuku to the National rail network – providing passenger travel opportunity as well as other rail connectivity benefits for Franklin and ultimately provides a picturesque heritage destination for the over 30,000 passengers that travel with us annually.
