Healthy Puketāpapa Wellbeing Survey

This consultation closed on 18 June 2021. Thank you for having your say.

We received 304 submissions, including responses from the online survey.

We collected an additional 143 responses from residents outside of the Puketāpapa Local Board area.

These external results were excluded from the survey analysis but we will include them in the ethnic and youth response individual data information sheets.

The online survey complemented the reach into our target communities within Puketāpapa by community contractors. This achieved an excellent response rate from communities who traditionally don't respond to surveys.

Responders identifying as living with a disability are very under-represented and targeted work would be required to connect with this community.

Key feedback themes

• While Puketāpapa residents self-rate wellness higher than the Auckland average, disparities between age groups is noticeable with youth having much poorer responses.
• Self-rated and whānau health is significantly worse in target communities such as Maori, Pacific, MELAA (Middle Eastern, Latin American and African) people and communities impacted by housing changes.
• Pacific peoples' communities rate the highest for being able to find support in difficult times, youth the lowest.
• Connecting is important for all communities to maintain wellbeing but each ethnic community has a different way to express that connection - such as Maori connecting through relationships and nature and Chinese connecting through community activities.

Changes made as a result of feedback

• The wellbeing survey feeds into a larger project review
• Findings from the survey for individual target groups will be written up and shared across community groups.
• Findings from the full review will be discussed across local board workplan lines that contribute to well-being.
