We are on the look out for a superstar to join us for 10 hours a week out in the reserves of Albany and Paremoremo to lead engaging events for the community.

A vehicle of your own, practical skills and a knowledge of NZ plants and animals are all a must. This is an ASAP start until 30th June.

As an environmental community group, we sometimes rely on support from our Local Board to fund our environmental initiatives and aid our community resilience into the future.
Please share and take time to read through all of this and then HAVE YOUR SAY! IT'S VERY CRUCIAL that we all do! EVERY BIT OF FEEDBACK COUNTS! 🙏🤞

🌟 Upper Harbour Community — We Need Your Voice! 🌟

The Upper Harbour Local Board is facing an effective budget shortfall of $740,000 this coming year. As part of Auckland Council’s Annual Plan consultation, we’re asking you how we should bridge this gap.

To close it, we may need to reduce services and/or increase some fees. Options being considered include:
🔹 Reduced maintenance
🔹 Reduced grant funding
🔹 Cuts across programmes and projects — including environmental initiatives, events, activations, cycling projects, and wider community outcomes
🔹 Increased fees and charges at Albany Stadium Pool

At the same time, Auckland Council is consulting on a 7.9% rates rise — this is due to the opening of the City Rail Link.

For local boards, funding hasn’t kept up with inflation, and we are effectively bulk funded. That means we must still find $740,000 in savings.
💬 We want to hear from you. Here’s how you can have your say:
📍 Albany Village Library Drop in Sessions
• Sat 14 March — 10:00am to 11:30am
• Sun 15 March — 10:00am to 11:30am
• Fri 27 March — 10:30am to 12:15pm

📍 Upper Harbour “Hearing style” Event
• Thurs 19 March, from 3pm
✉️ Email [email protected] to book a speaking slot

🌐 Online feedback at https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/annual-plan-2026-2027

🗓️ Please have your say by Sunday 29 March.

👉 Follow the link below and tell us where you think savings should (or shouldn’t!) come from. And if you agree that Local Boards shouldn’t be going backwards while rates are going up, please let the Council know that too. Your voice genuinely shapes what happens next.
