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.

To the side of East Auckland’s Te Ara ki Uta ki Tai cycleway, nestled in overgrown greenery, is a building that wouldn’t get a second glance if it weren’t for hot pink graffiti.

The house, owned by Auckland Council subsidiary Auckland Transport, was used as a site office by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency staff working on the $46 million cycleway between Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive, Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan said.

But locals say the property has been all but destroyed by vandals since the cycleway was completed in 2016.

The property is one of several that have become run down and derelict under the ownership of local government.
