The aim of our association is to represent the local residents and ratepayers of Taupaki to the local boards and Auckland Council.
We deal with issues related to roading, the environment and policies that affect the local area. For example, we have discussed the gas pipeline running through the area, WaterCare buying land earmarked for a processing plant, and landfills in inappropriate areas.
Because of our liaison with the local board, we are forewarned about new policies, proposals, building regulations and matters that are not notifiable to the public at large. We can then look to prevent or reverse actions that are not in the community's best interest (once policies and procedures come into effect, it can be much more difficult to make changes).
How is the Association structured?
We have an active committee with a chairman, secretary, treasurer and committee members who meet four times a year in the Taupaki Hall (Taupaki Road opposite the Harry James Reserve in Taupaki) to discuss activities and needs that have an effect on the local community.
