LOCAL BOARD PLANS

What is a ‘local board’ and why should I care?

Auckland Council has 21 local boards across the region. Each local board represents its local communities and makes decisions on their behalf – this means that the plans your local board makes for the future will direct impact you.

Local boards make decisions about local issues, activities and services, and they contribute to regional strategies, policies, plans and decisions. This includes community programmes, event spaces, and much more that directly effects the arts sector. Local boards have provided support and funding for lots of awesome things:

• A hub for performances, exhibitions and events – Māngere Arts Centre Ngā Tohu o Uenuku

• A community centre for music and arts – Ōtara Music Arts Centre

• Arts programmes and community events – Nathan Homestead Pukepuke, Manurewa

• Arts courses, workshops and artists studios – Studio One Toi Tū, Ponsonby

• A multi-purpose space for young people and the local community to perform, practise and learn the arts – Te Oro, Glen Innes

What are ‘local board plans’?

Local board plans are strategic, three-year plans that are developed in consultation with the community – that means you can have a say on the priorities, budgets, and direction of your local board.

One of the main goals of local board plans is to reflect the local communities and their interests, as well as providing an opportunity for you to participate directly in local decision-making!
