How should we manage our local parks?

Cathy McIntosh from Ōrākei Local Board

Do you have ideas about how local parks in your community are managed, protected, developed and used now and in the future?

We are developing management plans for parks and reserves across local board areas over the next few months and are asking Aucklanders for their input to help inform draft plans, which will be consulted on some time next year. So if you have ideas then we'd really like to hear from you.

The link below leads you to interactive maps where you can post specific input for a specific park. or simply fillout the online form.
We'd love to include your input in the plans.
Thanks!

Experienced Pet & House Sitter Available | 28 Jan – 22 Feb 2026

Sabine from Orakei

Hi everyone, due to a cancellation I've had a rare gap in my pet-sitting calendar open up, and would love to fill it with more pet cuddles. I am currently sitting in St Heliers and have lived in this community for many years before starting my house sitting journey, so would love to spend more time here.

A little about me:
- I’ve been a full-time house and pet sitter for 6 years, with all 5-star reviews
- I have fostered over 450 cats and kittens with the Lonely Miaow Association, and grew up on a lifestyle block with large dogs, cats, farm animals and small pets, so I’m confident with animals of all kinds (including those needing medication or extra care). I am also studying after-hours towards a Level 3 degree in Animal Care.
- I work from home 3-4 days a week (and spend the other 1-2 days as marketing manager in SPCA's Hobsonville Centre) so have plenty of time to spend with your precious pets
- As a homeowner myself, I know how important it is to feel your place and pets are in safe hands.
- This is a free sit!

If you’d like to see reviews or photos from past sits, you are welcome to check out my page here: www.facebook.com...

Happy to answer any questions. Please message me to discuss your petsitting needs.
