Have your say to keep kauri standing
Do you live or work in the Waitākere Ranges? Are you a regular user of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park? Do you want to have your say about the future of kauri in the area?
If the answer is yes, we want to hear from you.
Auckland Council's Environment and Community Committee has recently proposed to close the forested areas of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park (with some exceptions) by 1 May 2018. This significant decision was made to provide the highest level of protection against kauri dieback disease.
As part of this proposal, we are seeking feedback from those Aucklanders who will be most impacted on closure of these areas of the park, before a final decision is made on 10 April.
If you are a resident, or frequent user of the park we want to hear what you think about the proposed closure. Please click the link below to provide your feedback by 19 March:

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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
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?
-
80.3% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.7% No. This would be impossible in practice.
