Background
Working alongside communities to build strong and healthy communities
Auckland City Council works with community groups, organisations and
individuals
so that they can take advantage of community development opportunities. Community
development focuses on enabling individuals and groups to build the resilience and
skills they need to effect change in their own communities and improve social outcomes.
Current programmes of work include:
 |
Community programmes: developing the community and voluntary
sector, fostering connected communities, fostering a sense of pride and
belonging, creating a city where diversity is valued.
