A report entitled Warkworth’s Community Aspirations will be officially launched at the Warkworth Town Hall in February.
The document is the culmination of about 18 months’ work by Rodney Local Board consultant Cissy Rock and residents, and covers a range of issues from public space and heritage to revitalising the CBD.
The river, cycleway and walkway connections, maximising space for people not cars, and enhancing the special heritage and character of the town and river are also addressed.
Ms Rock says once the report is released, she hopes the community will identify projects and take them on.
The date for the launch is still being determined.
Meanwhile, Auckland Council is currently running a consultation process on the future management of community halls. A meeting was held in Warkworth earlier this month with representatives from some district halls to discuss how to achieve a more consistent approach to the management of council facilities across Auckland.
Ms Rock says there is strong support in Rodney for enabling communities to manage their own facilities to better meet community needs.
“The big question is how this is resourced,” she says. “This process is unlikely to mean more funds are made available, so it is more about streamlining and having a joined-up approach.”
