Share your views with us
We’re gathering all your feedback and working hard to ensure the Government is aware of our community’s concerns. So please make sure you share your thoughts with us before 5pm on Monday, 27 September. All feedback will be collated and presented to commissioners at the Council meeting on Monday, 4 October – you’re welcome to listen in via the live stream on our website.
As a reminder, this is a Government-led initiative. At this stage, councils are not being asked to make a decision to opt-in or out, but to provide the Government with their community's views – so make sure your voice is heard.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
