Bike Hub Waiheke is putting on a great range of activities - for those who live in the area, or those who want to make the ferry journey out with their bike and take part.

Have your say on the future of transport in the northwestNorthwest rapid transit
|
|
|
|
Do you travel in the northwest? Then we want to hear from you.
As part of the growth of the wider rapid transit network, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport agency and partners are investigating options to provide fast, frequent and reliable rapid transport for people to get around the northwest of Auckland - from Brigham Creek to the city centre, alongside State Highway 16 (SH16).
We’re working closely with Waka Kotahi on this project that will transform the travel options for people in the northwest. The project is also looking into what improvements are needed to improve walking and cycling connections for any new stations that are provided.
We would love to get your thoughts on the project. Feedback is open until 24 September 2023.

Do you have a great idea for community climate action?Applications for the Auckland Climate Grants close on 23 October!The Auckland Climate Grant is a targeted grant programme to support community-based climate action.
The grant provides funding support for projects that:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions through community-based action
- Build community resilience to climate impacts
- Support Māori-led responses to climate change
If you’ve got a great idea to address climate action in the area of transport, why not put forward an application? A transport project should support low-carbon, safe transport systems that deliver social, economic and health benefits for all. This will include innovative solutions that reduce the need for travel.
Check out the types of grants available, and how you can apply today! For those first-time applicants, there are also support workshop sessions that take you through the process and drop-in sessions to provide further support.
