Text: We’ve written a plan for 2023-2025.
[Video: White background with text and image showing front cover of draft local board plan document.]
Text: Here’s some of what we’re planning.
[Video: Orange yellow and white background with text.]
Text: Tō Tātou Hapori – Our Community. We want to enable our community to lead your own initiatives and access council services wherever you live.
[Video: White background with orange text heading and image of community event.]
Text: Ō Tātou Tāngata – Our People. We want to help young people into jobs, share decision-making with mana whenua, work with people to commemorate our history, deliver age-friendly activities.
[Video: White background with red text heading of two images, one showing three young people standing in front of swimming pool and the second showing two older people sitting on a park bench.]
Text: Tō Tātou Taiao – Our Environment. We want to restore the land, improve water quality and tree cover, develop a local response to climate change, get more public using active and public transport.

Text: To address climate change, we’re developing a paths programme. What should come first?
[Video: Image of three people walking on gravel path next to estuary.]
Text: Should it be safety improvements, paths to schools and public transport, or commuting and recreational paths?
[Video: Image of two people scootering on a concrete path.]
Text: Tā Tātou Ōhanga – Our Economy. We’re funding a role that build local business and jobs. We want to make the most of growth, support our producers to promote Franklin as the nation’s food bowl, and attract more visitors.

Text: Ō Tātou Wāhi – Our Places. We want fit for purpose public places that we can afford.
[Video: Heading in blue with white background and two images, one showing new houses in new subdivision, one showing images of digger working on new subdivision.]
Text: Many of our buildings are old, under-used, and need investment to make them safe and inviting.
[Video: White background with black text, two images showing older style halls in Franklin.]
Text: We also own buildings we lease to community groups, yet we fund the maintenance; those groups provide services you value.
[Video: White background with black text, image showing community leased building.]
Text: We have a $30 million shortfall in budget over the next 10 years. We can’t afford to maintain or upgrade all the buildings and facilities we own.
[Video: white background with black text, image of money.]
Text: We need to change how we deliver our services, so you can still use them without going to a set place.
[Video: Faded imaged of entrance to Pukekohe Library.]
Text: Our communities are different, some have facilities (library, pool, recreation centre), others don’t. At the moment, no council facilities = no services.
[Video: White background with black text, image of young child in swimming pool.]
Text: We must make decisions....like selling some facilities to fund others, having groups maintain them, or changing how we do things to deliver services without buildings.
[Video: Faded image of digital services screen with white text overlaid.]
Text: We wont be making quick decisions. We need to understand which facilities you value most, which need improvements, and which could be sold.
[Video: White background with black text, image of maze and image of map with pin.]
Text: What could we get rid of to fund something better? Which facilities need improving, and what’s needed? Do you have suggestions for facilities other groups could take over?
[Video: Black text on white background.]
Text: We need to hear from you. What council services and facilities are most important in your local area?
[Video: Yellow background with white text. Image of young women looking thoughtful.]
Text: We’ll also advocate for you.
[Video: White background with black text and image of map of Franklin Local Board area.]
Text: That includes speaking up for our roads and public transport.
[Video: Navy blue background with white text, image of rural intersection, image of buses.]
Text: We’re consulting on our draft plan.
[Video: White background with blue text, image of front cover of the draft local board plan.]
Text: Do you support it? Have we got it right? Have we missed something?
[Video: Pink background with white text, three images of white post-it note with sad face, neutral face, smiley face in black ink.]
Text: Read the plan. Have your say.
