Te Whau pathway consultation open until December 20th
Auckland Council are looking to get more feedback on some design aspects of the local Te Whau pathway for the parts that have not yet been completed. This is a local infrastructure project that will one day provide a link between the Manukau and Waitemata harbours and run from Te Atatu to Green Bay. It will open up our suburb to the river and will be a great asset to the area and Auckland.
The feedback provided will govern the design aspects of the whole pathway. They are looking for helpful feedback around the design and possible locations of features along the pathway.
The link for feedback is akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz....
This construction phase will only be for small areas of the whole pathway. These are the areas that have so far secured funding. They are looking to start this work next year and look to complete by 2024.
The deadline for feedback is by December 20th.
For further information on the pathway, you can look on the Te Whau trust webpage tewhaupathway.org.nz....
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?
-
80.4% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.6% No. This would be impossible in practice.
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
Chinese New Year!
