Fears and phobias Many are struggling to catch up after COVID, 44 certainly some businesses (especially those reliant on overseas visitors). 46 Changes Now is probably not a good time to ask for a rise – if you still have a job!

  • About Rodney District About Rodney District LTCCP 2009 - 2019 Volume 1
    243 SECTION 6: About Rodney District LTCCP 2009 - 2019 About Rodney District Volume 1 About Rodney District Council Rodney District was constituted as part of the 1989 local government reform, which resulted in the amalgamation of the former Helensville Borough with the former Rodney County. Rodney District appears to have taken its name from Cape Rodney, a headland at the north of the curve of Omaha Bay, 2 kilometres north-east of Leigh on the east coast of the district. The cape was named by Captain James Cook, on 24 November 1769, after the British admiral Sir George Bridges Rodney (1719-92). The district covers an area of 2,475 square kilometres and it had a population of 89,200 in 2006 (2006 census – Statistics New Zealand). Rodney District’s neighbours are Waitakere City in the west, North Shore City in the south and Kaipara District in the north. It comprises four wards: Western Ward – the south-western part of the district including the communities of Helensville and Kumeu/Huapai as well as the smaller settlements of Riverhead and Waimauku. Central Ward – the central Rodney area contains the communities of Coatesville and Waitoki. Eastern Ward – the Hibiscus Coast including the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, Orewa and Silverdale. Northern Ward – the northern part of the district, including the Warkworth, Wellsford and Snells Beach/Algies Bay communities and a number of smaller coastal and inland settlements. 244 The purpose of the Rodney District Council is to enable democratic local decision-making to promote the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of the district now and for the future.
