New Board office build


Building work is continuing on the new Rodney Local Board office in Elizabeth Street, Warkworth, with no opening date yet confirmed.

The new premises will be used for board business meetings and other public engagements, as well as office space for staff and elected members.

Auckland Council local area manager Lesley Jenkins said it would not replace or duplicate services provided at the existing Council Service Centre at 1 Baxter Street.

She added that information on the cost of the new office could not be provided while the project was still under construction and subject to commercially sensitive construction contracts.
