Have your say on the future of Waitematā

The early community feedback for this consultation closed on Sunday 4 January 2026. You can still share your ideas by either:

• attending our events
• emailing localboardplans@aklc.govt.nz.

In June 2026, we will run another consultation on the full draft Waitematā Local Board Plan. We will invite you to give feedback again.

What we asked for feedback on

We asked for your feedback to help shape the focus areas for the next three years. Topics included:

• safer streets and shared spaces
• local parks, playgrounds and sports facilities
• town centre upgrades
• youth programmes
• climate action and cleaner neighbourhoods
• supporting our cultural identity and strong communities.

What happens next

We are now reviewing all the feedback we received. Your ideas will:

• help us understand what matters most to your community
• shape the priorities and goals that guide future projects and services
• influence local decision-making before detailed plans are drafted.

We will use this feedback to develop the draft Waitematā Local Board Plan 2026.
