Local board plans set the direction for the area over the next three years and are developed in consultation with the community. The latest draft Hibiscus & Bays Local Board Plan has set priorities that include supporting groups who are working with youth, as well as a focus on emergency response and community resilience.
The plan includes suggested priorities for environmental issues such as the possibility of managed retreat in some parks and reserves, advocating for more sedimentation compliance monitoring, and making it easier for residents to recycle. The draft plan also includes advocating to Waka Kotahi around planning the future of the remnants of the Archers Block land as a reserve, following the completion of O Mahurangi Penlink. The local board is also joining with Rodney Local Board to advocate for a Rural Roads Design Guide, as the Coast’s rural areas have different needs in relation to footpaths and lighting than urban areas. Consultation opens on July 13 and runs until August 14.
There will be an opportunity to provide input in person at a Have Your Say event at Ōrewa Library on Tuesday, July 25, 2pm-4pm. You can also make an online submission, and find out more information, at https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/hub-page/local- board-plans-2023 Hard copies of the draft plan and feedback forms will be available at libraries and service centres.
