Auckland Council Budget Impact - Community Huis
Auckland Council is facing major financial challenges requiring some tough choices with a forecasted budget shortfall of $295million. The forthcoming budget is likely to affect communities, community groups and not-for-profits across Auckland and it is important that you have your say during the consultation period.

Come along and have your say and advocate for your community.
ANCAD (Auckland North Community and Development) is hosting an opportunity for groups and organisations to hear about the potential effects of the budget and to discuss ways in which make a submission with other groups/organisations.
We encourage you and your board to attend this hui and to have your say.
