Our association aims to promote the general well-being of the people of Meadowbank and St Johns, and encourage them to be active participants in a thriving and vibrant community.
We are an Incorporated Society (#2576041). View the current rules of our society in full here.
Building community
Our tagline is ‘Growing Community Together’. We want to help people in our community get to know each other better, share resources, and find out about opportunities they might not otherwise have.
All residents (and people interested in our area) are welcome to attend our:
- Information evenings: We hold regular information evenings on topics of interest to all residents. See our History page for a list of past events
- Special events: Throughout the year we support events from other community organisations such as Neighbours Day Aotearoa, Ōrākei Local Board and Auckland Transport.
Advocacy
We provide a bridge between our community and government / local bodies, including the Ōrākei Local Board, Auckland Council and Auckland Transport.
Our association frequently holds meetings to help residents understand how future plans affect our area. Representatives from the relevant governing body attend these meetings to listen to our concerns and answer our questions.
Together we can advocate for the resources our area needs to thrive. As an organisation we make submissions on behalf of the association on all consultations that affect our community. We also encourage residents to make their own submissions. Recently we have made submissions on:
- the Orākei Local Board 3 year Plan
- Auckland Long-term Plan / 10-year Budget
- Local transport consultations.
We will keep you updated with current consultations via our News pages.
Monthly meetings
All residents (and people with an interest in our area) are welcome to come along to our monthly meetings.
- Date: Usually the second Tuesday of every month. Check our facebook page for the date of our next meeting.
- Time: 7.30 – 8.30pm
- Location: St Chads Church, 38 St Johns Rd, Meadowbank View Map
At meetings we typically discuss any issues concerning Meadowbank and St Johns, plan events, and go over any current consultations requiring submissions to Auckland Council. We often have a presenter on a current topic of interest, including developments and Special Housing Areas (SHAs) planned for the area.
Anyone present at the meeting is welcome to make a tangible contribution to the work we do along with our willing band of volunteers, whether by contributing to the discussion or volunteering to help out with one of our initiatives. We also typically have one or two representatives from the Ōrākei Local Board present on what is happening in the local board area.
