Million dollar upgrade to south Auckland streets
A $25 million injection aims to make south Auckland streets safer and more people-friendly.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has announced an additional $10.1 million investment through the Innovating Streets for People pilot fund, in addition to $13.95 million announced in June.
There are five successful southern Auckland projects, ranging from making it safer for kids in Māngere to get to school, to streetscape upgrades in Pukekohe.
The projects will all make quick, low-cost improvements to create more people-friendly spaces in each neighbourhood. This may include the use of pop-ups like street dining and things like road art, planters and street furniture.
All ideas will be co-designed with the community and will be improved upon in response to feedback from the people who live, work and travel in these areas.
Ideas will be developed over the coming months, with temporary changes expected to be in place before mid-2021. Permanent changes will happen in the long-term if the trials are successful.

Age Well Kiwi
We are a new support group for seniors. We meet once a month to share our experience and discuss our challenges & concerns.
With the growth of our ageing population, and more seniors living alone, this group would explore and advocate/address the social, emotional and physical needs of our seniors, and promote positive and healthy ageing.
We meet on the first Saturday afternoon of the month in Mt. Roskill. Our next meeting will be 3 Jan 2026.
If you are interested in joining us and contribute your ideas, knowledge, experience, talents and resources, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at agewellkiwi@gmail.com.
