In the 2024/2025 financial year we plan to invest $6.3 million to renew and develop assets (resources we own). we also plan to invest $22.4 million to maintain and operate assets and deliver local activities.

In this long-term plan, local boards have more responsibility for decisions about local assets and services than in previous years.

This includes making decisions about which assets (such as parks and community halls) and services (such as libraries) we should prioritise with funds allocated by the Governing Body.

Some funding decisions are not the responsibility of a local board and in such cases the board can:

  • ask the Governing Body to consider funding from its long-term plan budget
  • ask a council-controlled organisation (such as Auckland Transport) to deliver the service during the 10 years of the long-term plan.

  • continue investing regional targeted rates (like the National Environment Targeted Rate and Water quality rate) in Kaipātiki
  • work to reduce flooding of Wairau Valley
  • increase regional funding to support sports in the community.
