An update from the Rodney Local Board: “Protecting our natural environment and waterways is a priority for Aucklanders. Auckland Council’es 10-year budget (2018-2028) ring-fences $311 million through a natural environment targeted rate for projects that restore native ecosystem health through council and community-led restoration and pest plant, animal and disease control. Another $452 million from a water quality targeted rate is being invested in cleaner beaches, streams and harbours. This document is a ‘snapshot’ of work delivered this year.”
