Online: Waitematā Local Board Recovery Budget Hearing Event
Consultation on one of the most important budgets in Auckland's history is now open. Auckland Council wants to recover from the impacts of COVID-19, supporting growth in local communities and across the region.
Impacts of the Recovery Budget will be felt locally across Waitematā, so we need to know what's important to you and your community to help us prioritise spending over the next 10-years.
Register to present your views on the Recovery Budget and the Waitematā Local Board priorities for 2021-2022, at our Hearing Style Event, via Skype for Business. The event is happening Tuesday 9th March, starting 4:30pm.
Waitematā Local Board members and Councillors Desley Simpson and Pippa Coom will be in attendance to hear the presentations and answer your questions.
