We have developed a draft local board plan for Rodney and we want your feedback.

Local board plans are strategic three-year plans based on community feedback.

Local boards can now make more decisions about services and facilities in their area.

However, the cost of living and providing these services has gone up, along with the costs of borrowing money and doing business.

The impact of Auckland’s recent storm events have also affected how much money is available.

We are responding to these challenges in our local board plan by doing things differently and prioritising spending.

What we want your feedback on

We want to hear your thoughts on our draft local board plan

 [PDF 5.2MB] to help us understand what matters most to you and your community.

Five key focus areas

The key aspects of local board plans are:

• Our people: our people support each other and have what they need to live well and adapt to change.
• Our environment: our land, waterways and coastlines are nurtured and protected.
• Our community: our community spaces, facilities and parks are great places to play, grow and connect.
• Our places: our towns, villages and rural areas are vibrant, prosperous and liveable.
• Our transport: our transport networks are safe, accessible and well-maintained.

Effort is being made to integrate these five strategic areas into our contributions to climate mitigation and our legal obligations to Māori.
