Who Are We

The Algies Bay Community Group (previously the Algies Bay Ratepayers and Residents Association) has served our community for many years. In that time, we have built a solid reputation and strong working relationships with Auckland Council, the Rodney Local Board and other statutory bodies. These relationships have helped deliver significant improvements to our bay, including replacement seawalls, upgrades to the main reserve and car parking, and a children's playground enjoyed by local families and visitors alike.

  • We are a non-political community group of local ratepayers and residents
  • We represent the views of our members in all matters affecting Algies Bay
  • We work with local clubs, businesses and groups
  • We provide a forum for discussion on local issues
  • We work with Auckland Council and the Rodney Local Board on local environment and planning matters
  • We make non-partisan submissions to local bodies on legislation that affects Algies Bay
  • We maintain links with groups in Warkworth, Snells Beach and Restore Rodney East (RRE) so our voices are heard

How are we organised?

Our committee has 10 seats, including three defined roles: Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary, alongside seven other committee members. Nominations are taken ahead of the Annual General Meeting each year, with committee elections and appointments to these roles made at the AGM. Monthly meetings are held at the Sandspit Yacht Club rooms on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30pm, and our Annual General Meeting is held in April.

Can I join the committee?

Yes. We are always keen to hear from residents who are passionate about Algies Bay and want to build on the improvements already completed. If you're interested in standing for the committee or taking on one of the defined roles, we'd love to hear from you ahead of the next AGM.

The usual monthly commitment is a couple of hours reading documents and preparing ahead of the meeting, followed by roughly an hour at the monthly meeting. Email admin@algiesbay.co.nz.

What happens to the money?

Your subscriptions help fund the work of the Algies Bay Community Group, from operating costs such as our website, administration and venue hire to the events that bring our community together. This includes barbecues at beach cleanups and provisions for bands and food trucks when we have them down at the bay.

Funds also help the team respond to local infrastructure needs, including support for the much-loved donkeys and related work at Highfield / Donkey Hill. We also support organisations that look after our community: Kawau Coastguard, Mahurangi East Volunteer Fire Brigade, our rescue helicopter service and Hato Hone St John. Your membership helps us care for both the place we live and the people who make it special.
