Network meetings
We host monthly network meetings on the last Wednesday of each month, except in December and January.
To accommodate our dedicated community members, many of whom work full-time, we hold four evening meetings at 7pm (February, May, August, and November), and six morning meetings at 10am during the rest of the year.
Each month, we rotate venues, with different network members generously hosting us. Meetings typically follow this format:
Informal networking and refreshments
Guest speaker presentation
Update from the Ōrākei Local Board
Community updates from network attendees
Network Feedback Survey
In June - July 2025, Auckland Council conducted a survey with Auckland East Community Network members to understand what’s working well, what could be improved, and how the Network can better support the community.
