HIBISCUS AND BAYS LOCAL BOARD PLAN 2014 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON
OUR AREA WILL GROW FASTER THAN
MESSAGE FROM MOST IN THE AUCKLAND REGION
THE CHAIRPERSON OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS
I am pleased to introduce the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Plan 2014. This plan
will guide our activities for the next three years and beyond. We talked with
many of you at engagement sessions this year to understand what is important.
You told us what you like most about living in our area. You also told us what we
should focus on to improve our area now and in the future. We have limited funds
and resources to do a lot of important work, so we have to prioritise what is done
and when.
Our area will grow faster than most in the Auckland region over the next 10 years.
We have to find a balance in responding to the rapid growth in parts of our area
while maintaining services in our more established centres. The six outcomes
in this plan acknowledge both the challenges and opportunities that a growing
population presents.
We want our residents to have easy access to recreation choices and open space
and be part of safe and supported communities. We want our area to be an
even better place to live as our population grows. Protecting and enhancing our
environment is also vital to preserve our area for future generations to enjoy. We
will work towards creating a stronger local economy and connected communities
with excellent transport choices. In developing this local board plan, we have also been guided by our area plan. You
helped us develop the area plan by participating in the many consultation sessions

Recognising the pressure to keep rates rises at an acceptable level, we will look
to different funding sources to bring our projects to fruition. We are proud of
the success we have had working with the community, businesses and external
funding agencies to get things done and will continue to approach funding
challenges that way. We also value highly the work done by our volunteers in the
community to make our area a better place to live and will continue to support
their efforts wherever we can. Julia Parfitt
