Phase one - Kaipātiki plan update

Thank you to everyone who shared ideas, insights and gave feedback on what the Kaipātiki Local Board should include in their next three-year plan. It has been great to hear from you and see your creative ideas and passion for your communities and neighbourhoods.

Who we heard from

We held meetings with key stakeholders representing youth, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, seniors, and worked closely with Kaipātiki Community Facilities Trust. We distributed postcards of our Local Board Plan outcomes and had people return them to us with their feedback. We a great deal of engagement on the AK Have Your Say page, where people were able to contribute ideas and discuss them with one another. In total we received over 180 contributions from around 110 people.

What you said

These are some of the key themes we heard from all the feedback received:

• Providing good transport options, including cycling, walking, and accessible public transport is important to our community
• Incorporating and learning from Māori knowledge and culture is supported
• Public space like parks, playgrounds, and facilities are important to Kaipātiki

What happens next?

All 21 of Auckland’s Local Boards are developing their new 2020 Local Board Plans based on what we heard and other inputs such as the Auckland Plan, Long Term Plan, and Annual Budget. Given the extraordinary circumstances we now face, you can expect to see some localised responses to Covid-19 recovery, and some things may need to be put on hold.

The next phase of this consultation will be in July when we come back to you with an opportunity to have your say on the draft Kaipātiki Local Board Plan.

We will be back in touch when phase two opens.
