We will go through the required AGM decisions, including electing a new committee.
CCRG are always looking for other city centre fans to join the committee, to provide the widest range of perspectives that our incredibly diverse city centre contains, and deserves.
You don't need 'committee experience', you just need your lived experience and enthusiasm for making the CC a better place for residents.
And whatever time you can share.
We are all volunteers doing what we can.
Providing a voice for city centre residents.
We will also have a presentation and kōrero on
A Locky Dock Network for Auckland's City Centre
Guest speaker: Cleve Cameron, co-founder and Managing Director of Big Street Bikers.
'Big Street Bikers is on a mission to enable more people to bike more often — to reduce congestion, reduce emissions and contribute to the community vibe.
To do this they’re rolling out a network of innovative and attractive Locky Docks across Aotearoa. Cleve will be presenting about how Locky Docks are helping Aucklanders make the switch to a bike ride for short trips.'
Cleve will be sharing Big Street Bikers proposed locations for the City Centre and the benefits of a network of Locky Docks providing bike parking, charging, and wayfinding.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
