Cultural well-being strategies and policies

The Mainstreet 5-point programme contributes to Auckland City's economic, social, environmental and cultural wellbeing.

This policy aims to encourage and manage diverse, high quality street performance in Auckland's public spaces.

Auckland City has a vision, stated in its Strategic Plan, to make Auckland the First City of the Pacific. A priority is to build strong and healthy communities and to increase the numbers of people involved in sport, community and recreation activities. Swimming pools play an important role in achieving these goals and this strategy will help clarify how the council intends to achieve them.

Produced every three years, these 10-year plans must show what the council does and how it will work towards achieving community outcomes - the things the community has told us that they think are important for the city's future and wellbeing.

Auckland City Council has prioritised the support for building strong communities and citizen well being. The Marae Policy reflects Auckland City’s desire to work with communities and voluntary organisations.

With a projected population of two million in 2050, will the Auckland region still be able to enjoy the public open spaces that we now take for granted?

To promote an integrated and strategic approach to Open Space planning, the eight councils in the Auckland region together with the Department of Conservation and the Ministry for the Environment have developed a Regional Open Space Strategy.

The Auckland Regional Physical Activity and Sport Strategy (ARPASS) is a major regional strategy in which the ARC is one of 13 partners.

Auckland City has the important role of providing, managing and maintaining skate facilities, and balancing the needs of skaters with those of the wider community.

The vision for the waterfront is of a world-class destination that excites the senses and celebrates our sea-loving Pacific culture and maritime history.  It supports commercially successful and innovative businesses. It is a place rich in character and activities that link people to the city and sea.

Through the Youth Action policy we aim to make Auckland the First City of the Pacific for you, the young people of Auckland – a city where you can "live long and prosper".
