ABOUT HERNE BAY 1011

 

Herne Bay 1011 is the Herne Bay Residents Association Incorporated (HBRAI), a group set up to protect the special character of the area on behalf of residents and local businesses.

 

We’re all about raising awareness about the ‘macro’ issues affecting our place and protecting your right to have a ‘fair say’ about what happens next door and in the community.  The name Herne Bay 1011 is a more creative twist on HBRAI and better expresses our wider geographical reach and Auckland concerns.

 

Herne Bay 1011's origins can be traced to an earlier community group set up in 1998.  It’s been around for more than two decades in one form or another and is here for the long haul. 

 

Herne Bay 1011 was born out frustration with our Auckland Super City:

• Deficient planning

• Inadequate consultation on issues affecting Auckland’s suburbs

• Lobbying Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs)

• Questioning Auckland Council financial management

• Super City structure concerns

• Lobby Local Board to effect positive change

• Assisting residents with having a ‘fair say’ on what happens in their area.
