Age Friendly Action Feedback Roadshow Ōrākei
"We want to Hear from You" - an introduction to the Age Friendly Auckland Plan 2022-2027 for the Roadshow held in Oct/Nov 2023 at retirement villages and seniors clubs in the suburbs of the Ōrākei Local Board.
Local seniors tell us their personal priorities and preferences among the range of potential actions listed in the plan. A Feedback Results Report will be published in Dec 2023 which will serve as a guide to target future local age friendly investment to fit the consensus of local seniors’ priorities. Hopefully other parts of Auckland can do the same in the future.
Age Friendly Action Feedback Roadshow Ōrākei Feedback Results Report can be found here.

The Upcycle Garden Challenge is Back!
As a part of the Parnell Festival of Roses, we invite you to get your creative gardening gloves on and join the Upcycle Garden Challenge!
The aim is for children to design and create an upcycled garden to be on display within the Parnell Festival of Roses. Each application is given a $400 grant to purchase materials of your choice in support of your upcycled items.
The gardens will be on display for the duration of the event, with the public voting for their favourite garden to win first place!
You can enter as a school group, or as individuals. Children MUST be accompanied by an adult for the challenge.
For more details on the challenge and the build, the information pack is available to read HERE
