We are Richmond

The community has had to endure many disruptive events after the Red Zone changes: Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake issues; as is where is houses; poorly executed roading projects impacting our central business area; prolonged Dudley Creek remediation taking 18 months longer than expected; the MOE decisions to close schools; and the installation of multiple Housing New Zealand developments.
The collective impact of these events eventually prompted the community to stand up and state that they had had enough.
Since then, it has grown into an organisation that not only helps take action for residents, but to make Richmond a better place by positive actions, bringing community organisations together, and running local events.
- To establish a progressive and collaborative relationship with National and Local Government bodies and their subsidiaries.
- To actively promote projects which enhance the quality of the residents’ and business communities’ lives in the Richmond area.
- To provide a forum for the consideration and development and advancement of ideas which meet 1 and 2 above.
We meet at 7pm on the 4th Tuesday of every month at Avebury House (9 Eveleyn Couzins Ave).
We welcome and encourage any Richmond residents, landowners, business owners and those working for Richmond organisations to come along.
