Community consultation
"Glen Innes into the future" has been based upon the significant
input and comment that Auckland City has received from Glen Innes residents,
local businesses, community and iwi groups, and government departments. These
inputs and comments have helped to:
- identify the key issues and concerns of the local community regarding the
future development of Glen Innes;
- develop options to better manage growth and change in Glen Innes; and
- raise community awareness and stimulate debate on planning/growth issues.
The consultation programme has included:
The Glen Innes charette

The charette was a three day hui to give the people of Glen Innes an
opportunity to voice their opinion and discuss positive change for the area
whilst looking towards the future of the area and community. Topics that were
workshopped included health, housing, crime, safety, education and employment.
The charette involved over 65 volunteers and 20 agencies, and was attended by
about 1500 people.
