The Tamaki Community Board is to consult the people of the Tamaki Ward - Point England, Glen Innes, Panmure, Mt Wellington and Otahuhu - about the draft Auckland super-city boundaries.

The proposed new boundaries for the Auckland Super City were released on Friday by the NZ Local Government Commission.

Submissions on the draft boundaries must be submitted by 11 December 2009.

The Tamaki Community Board will host two community events to consult residents, business people and key stakeholders in the Tamaki area about the proposed boundaries.

"We need to make sure that Tamaki people have a say about the future shape and size of our community," says Tamaki Community Board Chair Kate Sutton.

"The Tamaki Community Board is, therefore, inviting everyone in the Tamaki area to discuss the proposed new boundaries of the Tamaki Community and their implications for residents. Their ideas are important and they can make a difference."

The two public meetings are:

Southern Tamaki Meeting

When: Monday 30 November 2009, 6-8pm

Where: Otahuhu Town Hall, 10 High Street, Otahuhu

Central and Northern Tamaki Meeting

When: Tuesday 1 December 2009, 6- 8pm

Where: Maungarei Rooms, 7-13 Pilkington Road, Panmure
