Sports Center

Duncan from New Windsor

I asked if the proposed aquatic and sports center in our area was still being planned?
Response from Whau Board?

Kia ora Duncan,
Thank you for your enquiry.

As part of the 2018 Long-term Plan, the Whau Local Board successfully advocated to secure funding from Auckland Council’s Governing Body for the development of an aquatic and recreational facility in the Whau area. They local board has continued to advocate strongly to advance the site identification and implementation of this facility.
Unfortunately, the financial impact of COVID-19 has created uncertainty around the delivery of this project and the likelihood is that it will be further delayed. The Whau Local Board is absolutely committed to this project as it has been consistently identified as a high priority to the local communities.
Thank you.
Res Whau Local Board

Kaitiakitanga (Guardianship and Stewardship) - Day 17

Kiran Reddy from Mount Eden

Tāne’s Gift of the Forest

Tāne planted the great forests and entrusted their care to humankind, warnihonoringto take only what was needed and to replenish what was used.

He sent the birds to teach people balance, showing them how each creature contributed to the wellbeing of the environment.

When people acted as kaitiaki (guardians), the land thrived; when they were careless, the land suffered.

Moral: Guardianship of the land ensures that future generations can thrive, honoring the gifts of nature.
