Following consideration of 534 local submissions to the annual plan, Hibiscus and Bays Local Board is carrying out a variety of initiatives that will have direct community benefits.
They include:
- play equipment upgrades and better shade protection for playgrounds in busy reserve areas
- a toilet upgrade at Waiake Esplanade Reserve and a new toilet for Sherwood Reserve
- an upgrade for Stanmore Bay Skate Park
- opening a community hub for Millwater residents
- streams, waterways and environmental restoration projects, including Love Our Bays, North-West Wildlink and Weiti Wildlink
- identifying town centre projects in Silverdale, Ōrewa and Browns Bay
- funding for community projects and events.
In line with strong community endorsement, the local board will continue to advocate at every opportunity for an earlier delivery of Penlink.
