The flooding and cyclone events that took place
during January and February of 2023 brought about damage on an unprecedented
scale. I would like to thank the leadership demonstrated by our Councillor Alf
Filipaina, Local Board Chair Tauanu’u Nick Bakulich and my fellow
colleagues and local board staff members that swiftly answered the call of our
community. More importantly I wanted to honour the resilience and character
embodied by our community during this time. The generosity, trust and love
demonstrated by our organisations and community alike humbles me to pen this
report. Therefore, I would like to acknowledge the following ministries,

a)
acknowledge the

more likely to be able to enlist the support of their communities and other
agencies in the goal of improving outcomes and meeting their strategic goals

Auckland Council go back to LGNZ, explain our situation and seek
consideration of costs of membership on the basis of scale across all 21

membership would potentially alienate Auckland from the rest of the local
government network, weakening both LGNZ’s and Auckland’s status

recognise that local
government reforms are putting the emphasis on a partnership approach between
local government and central government relationships. This partnership is
critical, if Auckland Council wants to advance its objectives such as its
