Have your say on 10 year plan and local rate proposal
Please have your say on Council's 10-year plan, including rates levels, infrastructure budgets, council services, impact of COVID-19, climate change, and other issues: akhaveyoursay.nz...
As part of this, the Kaipātiki Local Board is asking whether you would support an additional local rate to fund one or more of the following local projects that otherwise may take many years to achieve:
* Addressing flooding and seawater inundation at Little Shoal Bay,
* Multi-sport facility and improved aquatic play space at Birkenhead War Memorial Park,
* Commuter and recreational walking and cycling links, such as shared paths, bush tracks, and connections to the Northern Pathway.
If there is support for a local rate, then we will go back out to consultation with more details. Submissions close 22 March.

10am-1pm Saturday 13 March, Little Shoal Bay Reserve.
