6 Te Mihi | Acknowledgement
The board acknowledges the sad passing of Wally Thomas on 19 August, as a result of illness. Wally was Exec GM Stakeholder, Communities & Comms in the Auckland Transport leadership team to 2022. He acted as the board’s key contact person when the MOU between AT and the Waiheke Local Board was introduced. Wally leaves his own tangible legacy here on Waiheke because he matched the local crowd-funding to purchase Chris Bailey’s (Ngāti Hako, Ngāti Paoa, Te Aupōuri, Ngāti Porou) Te Werowero – The Ongoing Challenge, sculpture at Matiatia, funding that from the AT’s public transport art acquisitions fund. He also initiated the launch of Auckland’s first fleet of electric buses here on Waiheke, despite very staunch opposition to that decision from other quarters. The board extends its sincere sympathy to Wally’s wife, Simone and the family.
