Algies Bay Ratepayers and Residents Association

Who we are

Introduction

Algies Bay Resident and Ratepayers Association has been functioning for many years and has built a solid reputation and forged a strong relationship with Auckland Council, Local Rodney Board, and other statutory bodies. These relationships have provided the opportunity for considerable improvements to our bay such as replacement seawalls, upgraded main reserve and carparking. Also, the children’s playground was upgraded and attracts children from our community as well as visitors.

What are we about?

Our Association is an independent organization, the foremost objective is to represent the residents of Algies Bay.

Our Association provides a forum within which members can identify, discuss, and deal with local issues and concerns, and provide a unified voice to represent those issues and concerns with the Auckland Council, the Local Rodney Board and other statuary parties.

• We are a non-political association of local Ratepayers and Residents
• We represent the views of our members in all matters affecting Algies Bay
• We work with local clubs, businesses and groups
• We provide a forum for discussion on local issues
• We work with Auckland Council, the Local Rodney Board, other statuary parties on local environment and planning matters
• We make non-partisan submissions to local bodies on legislation that affects Algies Bay
• We maintain links with other groups and relevant organisations in Warkworth, Snells Beach and Restore Rodney East (RRE) to make sure our voices are heard.
• Association operational costs are funded by membership subscriptions

Our Organization

• Our Annual General Meeting is held every year in the month of April. The date for the AGM is advised before year end and communicated via our email system. Committee members are elected by current members of the Association at this meeting.
• Our committee consists of 10 elected members, Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary and 7 Committee members
• Monthly meetings are generally held at the Sandspit Yacht Club rooms, the second Wednesday of each month
• Special meetings can be arranged on an issue-by-issue basis.
• Members are welcome to attend or speak at the open forum to raise matters
• Contact us via email admin@algiesbay.co.nz

Membership

• Membership is $10 per household. It is important for our Association to have a high membership base as it helps significantly towards continuous improvements to Algies Bay. This has been evident with many improvements over the last 10 years or more
• The membership subscription supports the running costs of the Association such as our website, administration costs, venue hire etc.

Committee

Our committee relies on volunteers to continue the magnificent work done by our predecessors. It is important for us to have a succession plan to ensure we have new blood with innovative ideas and motivation to make Algies Bay a great place to live and encourage visitors to come enjoy the wonderful Kawau Bay. Time commitment is typically 2-3 hours/month.

Our Association is always keen to hear from residents who want to join our committee to continue to build on the improvements already completed and those underway.

Our Association is keen to have people who are passionate about Algies Bay, enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and above all keen to get involved in the community to continue the good work already achieved over many years. Past involvement in committees and dealing with other organizations would be an advantage as the Association does have the need to work with Auckland Council and other authorities from time to time.

If you are one of those people who would like to join our committee please contact us at admin@algiesbay.co.nz We would be pleased to welcome you to one of our meetings to understand what is required to maintain a well-respected Association
