The Wesley/ Puketāpapa Leadership Rōpū has $150,000 in the Building Back Better Recovery Fund, and a powerful set of locally-led ideas ready to go - Now we’re at the point where the community decides what happens next.
Each one is designed to strengthen resilience, support recovery, and help our neighbourhoods face future weather events with more confidence.
Over the last 18 months, our community has come together in a big way. Through many cups of tea and conversations, street kōrero, workshops in multiple languages, and local events, people have shared what recovery really looks like on the ground: safer homes, stronger connections, better preparedness, and support that actually reaches those who need it most.
This only works if people know about it and take part. That’s where you come in! Please take a few minutes to:
• Watch the short video - each one is a local project with real impact
• If you work or live locally take a moment to vote for the 3 ideas you believe will make the biggest difference.

Then, help us build momentum by sharing with your networks:
Share this Facebook post. Add a sentence about why it matters to you - your voice helps others take notice. Send to your teams, communities, and partners – please encourage people to take time to watch and vote.
This is community-led, community-decided funding. The more people who take part, the stronger the outcome and the clearer the message that our communities know what we need to recover and move forward.
Let’s keep showing what’s possible when we back local ideas and each other.
