In these changing times, most of us realise that local resilience is increasingly important in times of disaster.
ANCAD is proud to be working with the Devonport Takapuna Local Board, Auckland Emergency Management and local people to plan how our local areas can be more resilient.
The focus is on four major areas:
Reduction of risks from hazards;
Readiness, awareness, preparedness and understanding;
Response to manage disasters; and
Recovery from disasters
What are the risks in your area? How can you and your local community be better prepared for disasters? And how might you manage and recover from disaster?
Save the date to join us, hear more and begin planning to improve local resilience for your community.
Please RSVP for catering purposes to info@ancad.org.nz 094864820
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.4% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.6% No. This would be impossible in practice.
