Rodney Local Board area
In the 2024/2025 financial year we plan to invest $5.6 million to renew and develop assets (resources we own). We also plan to invest $16.7 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.
Rodney Local Board priorities for 2024-2034
The Rodney Local Board proposed priorities for its area for the next 10 years. These priorities depend on funding from the Governing Body.
We will advocate to the Governing Body for:
- increased funding for resilient rural roads from Auckland Transport including:
- $124 million for the Unsealed Roads Improvement Programme
- increased funding for maintenance and renewals of at least eight to nine per cent of Auckland’s roads in any given year as per Auckland Transport’s Asset Management Plan.
- sensitive planning to protect and preserve our environment and prevent damage to highly biodiverse natural landscapes
- effective resources and enforced environmental compliance from both public and private organisations to protect our environment.
