Love local, get vocal and help shape your Local Board Plan 2020
The Waitematā Local Board has developed a three-year plan outlining the key initiatives we want to focus on to help our communities thrive and support the recovery from the impacts of COVID-19. Now we need your help to check if we’ve got it right.
Our plans has six key outcomes:
- Māori are empowered, and their identity and culture is visible (page 11 of plan)
- Connected communities that are inclusive, accessible and equitable (page 14)
- High quality urban development that has accessible, versatile, and sustainable public and private spaces (page 19)
- A future focused green and climate change resilient Waitematā (page 24)
- Sustainable transport network that is safe and accessible (page 28)
- Prosperous Waitematā economy that is sustainable and innovative (page 32)
Have a look at the plan for more details of what we will do to deliver on these outcomes and take the survey to tell us what's most important and what's missing.
Our 2020 Local Board Plan proposals are open for feedback until Thursday 13 August.
So love local and get vocal about your community by having your say. We'd love to hear from you.

Car-Free, People-Friendly CBD
Close CBD to traffic. Only electric buses or remove buses. Expand footpaths, add bike lanes. No crosstown traffic. Start with the blocks around Britomart and Queen St and grow from there. Remove cars from shared spaces. This has been done really well in Ljubljana. They have free electric golf carts for the mobility impaired to get people where they needed to go.

Collect City Centre rubbish more often. Clean the streets more often. Provide more historic interpretation. Do basic things better.

Leys Institute Library and Gymnasium deserves preservation and maintenance by the council.
Put resources into seismic strengthening of our 115 year old community facility and help Auckland retain both a much loved community facility, and a little of the area's heritage.

Quick Win: pop-up parking protected cycleways on wide streets
We have so many wide, wide streets with parking and oodles of width that could easily be made into parking protected cycle lanes with some flexiposts, planters or similar. We cannot wait for Auckland Transport to fund gold plated projects - this has resulted a pathetic level of bicycle infrastructure at a time of impressive year old year growth regardless. The city centre is the 'last mile' for many cycling trips and we let them all down at the last minute - we should be supplementing the existing network to create as much safe cycling space as possible - there are no excuses any more - it is simply predatory delay and I hope the WLB can move through this to create some positive change sooner rather than later

Re-develop all council owned parking buildings in CBD
Stop subsiding parking when the majority of the existing supply is amply provdided by private companies. On top of that, council's strategy is to reduce cars in CBD so this aligns with that and enables better use of the existing council carpark sites to something more people friendly.
