Community Safety Meeting

The Team from Brooke van Velden - MP for Tāmaki, Electorate Office

Come along and hear how local police and agencies are keeping Tāmaki safe and raise any concerns you may have with them directly.

Last year, panellists representing local, regional, and national government, Auckland Transport and NZ Police connected in response to concerns about reducing crime and addressing offending.


What’s been happening since September? Join us, participate, and find out. In addition to our panellists, representatives from Neighbourhood Support, Victim Support, Community Patrols NZ, Ngati Paoa and Ruapotaka Marae will be on hand to share their mission and invite your interest.

I am accepting pre-submitted questions so we can maximise the time available. Please email your questions to mptamaki@parliament.govt.nz.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
