  • Howick Ethnic Affairs Consultative Committee Application Form
    POSITION DESCRIPTION FOR MEMBERS OF THE HOWICK ETHNIC CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE This document outlines: the background to the proposed Howick Ethnic Consultative Committee the expected role and responsibilities of committee members the skills and community relationships expected of committee members the nomination and selection process 1. Background The Howick Ward includes Botany, East Tamaki, Flat Bush, Howick and Pakuranga. Our area is home to one of the highest proportion of migrants in the Auckland Region with 48% of our residents born overseas and just under half this group, 22%, relatively recent migrants having settled in New Zealand in the last 10 years. (Census 2006 data). Our migrant community is very diverse. In addition to settlers from European countries Howick is home to large numbers of people from China, India and Korea and smaller numbers from the Pacific Islands, other east, south east and south Asian countries, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. The Howick Local Board wants to create strong, connected, flourishing communities where everyone feels welcome and able to participate. The Board recognises the challenges faced by new settlers, in particular those: for whom English is a second language, and who come from cultures very different from New Zealand, and who lack strong support systems here In response the Board has established the Ethnic Affairs Portfolio to be responsible for developing relationships with the many ethnic communities in Howick. The Board has set two key objectives for its Ethnic Affairs Portfolio: 1. In Howick we want to ensure that different peoples and cultures are respected, celebrated and woven together to create a strong and unique identity.

My comments are that because they are on private land there is no uniformity and it look very messy, plus the sign of one party (council election or political election) can upset neighbors and they might be cause for vandals to came into a private property to damage the sign. We can see damage of the signs into public land and it is no different if they are on private property. 2. In some European countries when there is an election (council or general) the council provide some large board in very public places and a part of the board is given to every political parties and they can put on it what they want, but no in other places. 6 Dr Grant Gillon 1. I question the right of Auckland Transport to promulgate such a bylaw. I don‟t question the right of Auckland Transport to promulgate bylaws within its jurisdiction but argue that Election matters are not matters for Auckland Transport.

  • UXBRIDGE COMMUNITY PROJECTS INCORPORATED NOMINATIONS for BOARD MEMBERS for 2019 / 2020 Angela Campbell Cliff Halsey (Current
    UXBRIDGE COMMUNITY PROJECTS INCORPORATED NOMINATIONS FOR BOARD MEMBERS FOR 2019 / 2020 Angela Campbell Having grown up in Howick, I (like many) first visited Uxbridge as a school child. I’ve since taken classes, attended events and volunteered at the new centre, and I appreciate the part that UXBRIDGE plays in fostering an engaged, diverse arts community in the Howick Ward. Previously having volunteered with numerous not-for-profit organisations (including the Cancer Society, PCOS Foundation and Howick Hornets Rugby League Football Club) I bring with me a working knowledge of professional fundraising and engagement, a ‘hands on’ approach, and a focus on youth, sustainability and inclusion. Cliff Halsey (current Deputy Chair) I have lived in Howick for 40 years, widowed now with 2 adult children and 6 grandchildren. I have served locally many years in voluntary positions including Owairoa Primary PTA, Howick Squash, Pakuranga Golf Club, Auckland Golf Association and Howick Community Board. I have been involved at UXBRIDGE for 11 years serving as Deputy Chair and now Chair. We have been in our grand new premises for nearly 2 years now and are still dealing with various teething issues. We are currently processing a number of items with the Howick Local Board and Auckland Council and having established a good working relationship with them I am keen to see these issues finalised. Jan Hollway (current Chair) I’ve lived in Howick for 16 years, though my working life has been all over NZ, mainly in running a private training business. I’ve been a director for many years, both in business and the community, and am a Chartered Member of Institute of Directors.

  • Howick Local Economic Overview 2019
    20 MARCH 20 AUCKLAND ECONOMIC OVERVIEWS HOWICK ── LOCAL BOARD ECONOMIC OVERVIEW aucklandnz.com/business a 2 | Howick Local Economic Overview 2019 2 | Document Title – even page header Contents 1 Introduction 2 People and Households 3 Skills 4 Local Economy 5 Employment Zones 6 Development trends 7 Economic Development Opportunities 8 Glossary aucklandnz.com/business 3 3 | Document Title – even page header Introduction What is local economic development ATEED’s goal is to support the creation of quality jobs for all Aucklanders and while Auckland’s economy has grown in recent years, the benefits of that growth are not distributed evenly. Local economic development brings together a range of players to build up the economic capacity of a local area and improve its economic future and quality of life for individuals, families and communities. Auckland’s economic development Auckland has a diverse economy. While central Auckland is dominated by financial, insurance and other professional services, parts of south and west Auckland have strengths in a range of manufacturing industries. In other areas, tourism is a key driver and provides a lot of local employment while there are also areas that are primarily residential where residents commute to the city centre or one of the industrial precincts for employment. The Auckland region also has a significant primary sector in the large rural areas to the north and south of the region. The Auckland Growth Monitor1 and Auckland Index2 tell the story behind Auckland’s recent economic growth. While annual GDP growth of 4.3 per cent per year over the last five years is encouraging, we want our economy to be more heavily weighted towards industries that create better quality jobs and generate export earnings.
