About the Community Board

The Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board hold regular meetings that you’re welcome to attend. Anyone can ask to speak to the board about a local issue, activity or project.

The Community Board's main roles are to:

  • Represent and act as an advocate for the interests of our community.
  • Consider and report on all matters referred to us by the council, or any matter of interest to the board.
  • Maintain an overview of services provided by the council within the community.
  • Communicate with community organisations and special interest groups within the community.

Children's Day

Location: Cuthbert’s Green, Shuttle Drive, Bromley

Children’s Day 2024 is a FREE community event which is about celebrating children. The day is about having fun, learning and gaining information. More importantly, parents and caregivers don’t have to say NO, as all activities are free. The aim is to create an environment to provide moments of joy and fun to families that might not necessarily be able to have moments like this often.
