A community board plan is a three-year plan that sets out the community board’s vision and priorities for the local community during their term. It guides decisions on local activities, projects and facilities and helps the board understand what their communities would like them to advocate for.

The plan is a key strategic document to be included in the preparation of wider Council planning budgeting processes including the Long Term Plan.

Our commitment to the community:

1. We will advocate for the best outcomes for the community’s wellbeing, always holding the views, interests, needs and aspirations of the people we serve front of mind.
2. We will ensure an open and transparent decision-making process that empowers and encourages our stakeholders to participate in decisions that impact on them.
3. We will uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi by engaging positively and intentionally with whānau, rūnanga and Iwi, ensuring our decisions reflect the special relationship Council has with mana whenua.

Our Values:

Guardianship ~ Respect ~ Collaboration ~ Service ~ Care

Our priorities help us to guide our local decision making and to advocate for what matters to you - so we need your feedback to make sure we've got it right.
