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.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Keen for an update? The Post has you covered

Can anyone please help with transporting supplies to the Tokoroa dog shelter?

Anne from St Heliers

Hello Neighbours
I’ve collating donations for the SWDC dog shelter (near-expiry food; towels, blankets, plastic beds, toys, etc). There’s enough already to fill a 4-wheel drive or big ute but, at least, a BIG boot full. It would be great to get this to the shelter (esp. the short-dated food) ASAP

If you have spare / unused stretcher beds, plastic dog baskets, bedding, food, metal food bowls, leads, collars, toys, etc which you'd like to donate, please contact me, many thanks
