Whau Local Board

Ensure fair and inclusive representation of Auckland's ethnic communities in council consultations and advisory panels and support living wages.

Promote civics education and participation, especially among youth and first-time voters, and embed transparency and integrity in council procurement.

Start survey to gather public feedback on council services and decisions and host regular community hui and drop-in sessions.

Commit to increased representation and engagement with Māori and ethnic communities, reflecting Whau's very diverse population.

Do not support restructuring of council as the Whau Local Board area has developed a distinct identity in the 15 years it has existed.

Support going to less vocal communities to listen and learn rather than expecting residents to come to council-led consultation events.

Amplify Whau voices by funding outreach, co-designing civic spaces and ensuring decisions honour the lived experiences of diverse communities.

Elevate ethnic community voices through advisory panels, language access and leadership pathways grounded in cultural identity.

Embed Te Tiriti as a living covenant, resource iwi-led decisions, amplify Whānau Māori voices and centre kaupapa Māori in governance.

Build stronger connections with ethnic communities by funding engagement programmes and supporting diverse local leadership.

Increase community engagement by holding regular forums, drop-ins and online surveys to hear residents' voices.

Strengthen Māori representation by deepening partnerships with mana whenua and supporting Māori-led decision-making.

Ensure council funding through rates benefits all equally and require events to be self-sustaining and not ratepayer funded. Scrap if not viable.

Reduce council officers and elected members' excessive pay as an unwarrantable burden on ratepayers. Bring all CCOs in-house and scrap CCOs.

Represent all people equally in council and exclude consideration of race, religion or sexual ideologies in funding or policy decisions.
