The Reconvened AGM is online on Wednesday 28 October

The AGM on 18 October did not meet the required quorum, so it reconvenes online only on Wednesday 28 October. It begins at 6pm and the meeting proper starts at 6:30pm sharp. If you have already voted, your vote still counts.

The meeting on Sunday 18 October at Sunderland Lounge did not meet the required Quorum, so it was adjourned. It will reconvene ONLINE only, by Google Meet, following the same agenda. It will begin at 6:00pm, but please note, the meeting proper will start at 6:30pm sharp.

Why your vote matters. This meeting decides your levy for the coming year ($165 per property), elects the Committee that looks after Hobsonville Point’s shared spaces, and votes on ten changes to the Constitution. If the quorum is not reached by 6:30pm, the meeting goes ahead anyway with whoever is there, so a handful of people could decide all of this for 3,554 properties. Voting takes a few minutes, and you do not need to attend to do it.

The Committee are volunteers, your neighbours, giving up a second evening to finish this. Every vote helps them get it done and get on with the year.

If you voted online, by postal form or by proxy before the 18th, your vote still counts and you do not need to vote again. If you have not voted, online voting is still open, and postal votes and proxies are accepted until 12pm on Tuesday 27 October.

The links to vote and to join the meeting are in the email sent to members by Barfoot & Thompson. They are not published here. If you cannot find it, email hprs@barfoot.co.nz.

What is the purpose of the HPRS?

Promote a strong community

We encourage residents to engage with each other and take part in the life of Hobsonville Point, through events, groups, grants and the shared spaces that make the Point feel like a neighbourhood.

Maintain a focus on sustainability

Sustainability shaped how Hobsonville Point was designed, and it shapes how we look after it, from green spaces and planting to the way we use and share our resources.

Keep the Point to a high standard

Consistent standards for buildings, fences and landscaping protect both the character of the area and the investment every owner has made in their home.
