Community engagement

Building trust through clear, shared community understanding.

Connecting communities across Auckland’s harbour

Connecting Te Waitematā is a major transport programme exploring how Auckland’s harbour crossings can support the region’s future growth and mobility.

The initiative required communication that could help communities understand the scale of the programme and the decisions being explored.

The challenge

Major transport programmes involve complex planning, long timeframes and significant public interest.

Communication needed to help communities understand what was being considered and why it matters for Auckland’s future.

Our approach

We developed a communication approach focused on clarity and accessibility.

Complex technical information was translated into visual explanations that helped people understand:

• the purpose of the programme
• how connectivity could improve
• what it could mean for the future of Auckland

Engagement tools were designed to encourage participation and make it easier for communities to contribute their perspectives.

The outcome

The communication programme helped bring communities into the conversation.

By making complex information easier to understand, the programme supported informed discussion about Auckland’s future transport network.
