WBDA (Development)

WAITARERE BEACH DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION 

Approximately five years ago, the Waitārere Beach community established a new association operating independently from, yet in relation to, the Waitārere Beach Progressive and Ratepayers Association (WBPRA). This new entity maintains a tax-exempt status and shares membership, officers, and a management committee with the WBPRA. Notably, its Annual General Meetings (AGMs) are held concurrently with those of the WBPRA.​

Objectives of the Association:

  • Enhance Local Amenities: Strive to improve the facilities and overall appeal of the Waitārere Beach Township and its surrounding areas.​
  • Foster Community Relations: Promote and nurture positive relationships among the Association, the local community, and the Council.​
  • Acquire Property Interests: Secure legal interests in properties or rights deemed necessary or beneficial for achieving the Association's goals and advancing member interests.​
  • Pursue Funding Opportunities: Seek financial support from governmental bodies, philanthropic trusts, gaming trusts, and service organizations.​
  • Support Community Organizations: Assist and collaborate with other community groups requiring aid or integration.​
  • Implement Enhancement Projects: Undertake initiatives, independently or in partnership with Councils, aimed at beautifying and improving the community's well-being and attracting tourists and visitors.​
  • Conduct Social and Fundraising Activities: Organize events and fundraising efforts, and encourage other community groups to do the same.​
  • Manage Association Funds: Utilise resources to cover costs associated with promoting and achieving the Association's objectives, including property maintenance and necessary legal services.​

This association plays a vital role in the continuous development and enrichment of the Waitārere Beach community, ensuring a thriving environment for both residents and visitors.
