What's on

Auckland Council is consulting on the next stage of Te Kori Scott Point, the new sports park next door in Scott Point. They want to know which play, court and wheeled recreation facilities matter most to you, so the Upper Harbour Local Board can decide what should be developed first.

Consultation runs from 16 September to 14 October 2026.

Halloween on the Point is on Saturday 31 October, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm, in the back courtyard at Hobsonville Point Primary School. There is food, face painting, photos and trick or treating.

If you are joining in at home, put your house on the Halloween map so trick-or-treaters know where they are welcome. Email your name and address to hphalloween24@gmail.com by 25 October. Every house on the map gets a bucket of complimentary wrapped lollies to hand out on the day.

The 2026 Annual General Meeting is on Sunday 18 October, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, at the Sunderland Lounge on Cinema Road, held in person and online. The carpark is opposite.

The AGM is held each October. It is the meeting where the volunteer committee is elected, and where the membership fee for the coming financial year is agreed along with the annual budget.

The HPRS financial year runs from 1 September to 31 August, so the AGM sits just after year end. Barfoot & Thompson prepare the materials beforehand and invoices for the new year typically arrive in November.

Taking part

Financial members can vote at the meeting and can stand for election to the committee. Every committee member gives their time unpaid; what the committee does is set out in the constitution.

A full information pack goes out at least two weeks beforehand. It carries the complete results of the member feedback on the proposed Constitution motions, and it explains how to pre-vote. Members who send in a postal vote or a proxy form by midday on Friday 9 October go into a draw to win an iPad (A16) 256GB in silver. The draw is made at the meeting, by pulling an address out of a bucket in front of everyone there, and you do not have to be at the meeting to win. The dates you can pre-vote between go out with the pack.
