Devonport Peninsula Trust employs the Devonport Community Coordinator and works in partnership with the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board and Auckland Council to provide community development services on a local level.
Devonport Peninsula Trust supports individuals at a neighbourhood level and a wide variety of community groups by:
- Providing advice and/or assistance with funding and promotion;
- Sharing news and raising awareness of important community issues;
- Connecting people with relevant Auckland Council staff and others in the community;
- Providing the community with a voice and supporting emerging new initiatives.
The Devonport Peninsula Trust also provides resources to help with community events and happenings, including human resources and physical resources like marquees and gazebos and runs a slate of local community events to help create a sense of belonging and connectedness and to promote the arts, heritage, the environment and physical activity.
We facilitate and support network forums, such as;
Devonport community network forum where all are welcome and we share and discuss topical issues and
Devonport Youth Forum where we support young people to undertake community projects.
Devonport Community & Business Expo.
Devonport Peninsula Trust also umbrellas the Restoring Takarunga Hauraki project and the Pest Free Coordinator position.
