The Auckland Unitary Plan includes provision for Significant Ecological Areas (SEA-M) within Auckland’s marine extent. Marine habitats are known to be under-represented, and RIMU will be working to improve knowledge of the region’s marine habitats with a monitoring programme (funded by the Natural Environment Targeted Rate) designed to describe and map habitats and ecological communities in sub-tidal areas. This information will be used to improve representation of marine habitats in SEA-M.

There has been an uptick in growth in public transport (PT) use since July 2018. Two significant events affected demand for PT in July – a change to the bus network, and the introduction of the Regional Fuel Tax (RFT). Growth in public transport in August and September 2018, compared with the same period a year earlier, suggests the strongest growth has been in the more distant reaches of the city, exactly where you would expect it to be highest given the impact of the RFT on the attractiveness of driving.

Ngā Hui a te Rōpū Kaitohutohu Take Hapori Iwi Takatāpui/Rainbow Communities Advisory Panel Since it was established in 2016, the Ngā Hui a te Rōpū Kaitohutohu Take Hapori Iwi Takatāpui/Rainbow Communities Advisory Panel has been effective in providing strategic advice to the Governing Body and also working with Council staff on incorporating Rainbow issues into key strategies and policies and supporting them to engage with Rainbow communities and work programmes to improve some of the challenges faced by Aucklanders who identify as LGBTTIQ+. Why have a Rainbow panel? Auckland is a place where many key Rainbow communities and organisations thrive. For many seeking a place to belong, because of being Rainbow, it is their first contact with Rainbow society.
