The Rodney Community Team is a new Auckland Council initiative funded by the Rodney Local Board. The purpose of this team is to deliver the community priorities that local people have told us will make Rodney an even better place to live.
We want to see:
- new play, leisure and recreation programmes and activities for all parts of the community
- more resourcing and support for arts, culture and events
- interesting and fun placemaking activations in towns and villages
- improved community spaces in the main centres – our towns have a heart
- more support for local learning programmes, skills development and training
- increased support for social enterprise and local economic development
- increased support for community leaders and champions.
At the core of the team are five Community Facilitator roles, each based in a different community across Rodney. The Community Facilitators will work alongside local people and community groups to facilitate and deliver community led initiatives, events, programmes and activities. They will have a budget to support this work and they will work in ways that are empowering of local communities and enhance local leadership.
We will be looking for Community Facilitators in each of Warkworth/Snells Beach, Wellsford, Kumeu, South Kaipara and Milldale.
For more information about the Community Facilitators please contact Sue Dodds.
