Love local, get vocal and help shape your Local Board Plan 2020
The Whau 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 plan has six proposed outcomes:
- Strong, resilient and inclusive communities where local identity, diversity and creativity are nurtured (page 11 of plan)
- Māori aspirations are advanced and prioritised, and Māori history and identity are valued and reflected in our community spaces (page 14)
- Quality urban development and community facilities to meet the needs of our growing and changing population (page 17)
- Improved and expanded opportunities for walking, cycling and public transport (page 21)
- Our natural environment is protected and enhanced (page 24)
- Thriving town centres a strong local economy and neighbourhoods that are supportive and connected (page 27)
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.

A second toilet block in Avondale Mainstreet
There was a public toilet block in Rosebank Bank Rd, next to where Browne St is, for some 70 years until damaged by fire in 2011. We believe there is a need for it to be replaced - especially should the toilet under the Avondale spider become un-usable in the case of Panuku developments - though practically, our older folk would never make it that far in any case. More loos? Let us know...

Traffic lights and pedestrian crossing on Saltaire/Roberton St - Great North Rd intersection
Wait time for cars going right or straight is very long especially in peak traffic. Also turning from Great North Rd blocks one lane of traffic for few minutes. Same with people crossing. Nightmare if you try to get to train station or bus stop opposite. Not safe at all

Redesign Memorial Square so that it is a useable space for creative actions and community interaction
At the moment Memorial Square is primarily a transition space, the benches are poorly laid out for community activity and interaction, transit rather than dwell is prioritised. The square could be redesigned with power and water, seating shade/cover and natural stage areas so that people can gather, act, interact and perform in the area (people already do do this but they are struggling against the space)

Reserves are so often bare grass, plant them up with trees for shade and air quality, and plain old well-being. Make an urban ngahere.
More trees please!
