Introducing Shore Action candidate Melanie Kenrick!
"I was raised in Birkenhead, and I’m raising my family here. I love Kaipātiki and will work hard for this area.
I worked for over a decade as a senior mental health nurse and team leader. I am now an education charity trustee and kids’ sports coach. I have the skills and experience to work effectively with the wide range of people within Kaipātiki. I will push hard to get favourable outcomes for our community interests, with organisations like Auckland Transport.
I will advocate for Kaipātiki on: solutions to traffic congestion; improving our parks, sports and recreational facilities; promoting initiatives to get rid of pests or threats to our native bush; reducing the rubbish and wastewater polluting our streams and coastline; completing the walking and cycleway over the harbour bridge; and more!"
Shore Action is standing 6 strong members for the Kaipātiki Local Board and we'll be profiling them here over the next week. Stay tuned to meet the rest of our team.

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?
-
81.7% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
18.3% No. This would be impossible in practice.
