The City Rail Link is coming and we reckon it is big news for Papakura too.The City Rail Link (CRL) is New Zealand’s biggest transport project, and it will soon transform how our rail network works, not just in the city, but right across the region.💡 So what does it actually do?• Turns Britomart from a dead-end into a through station• Doubles rail capacity and allows trains to run more often • Enables up to 48 trains per hour through the city • Moves the equivalent of 16 extra motorway lanes worth of people at peak times.🌱 Why this matters for resilience. CRL is about faster trips and also making the whole system more reliable and better able to cope with population growth and changing travel needs.📍 What it means for Papakura. Even though the tunnels are in the city, the benefits reach all the way south with more frequent trains on the Southern Line, better connections across the whole network, faster access to jobs, education and services; and easy links to growth areas like Drury. Official sources say CRL will open this year.#PapakuraCRN #CityRailLink #ResilientTransport #AucklandGrowth #FutureReady ... See MoreSee Less

🌱 Growing something special in Takanini…Our Takaanini Community Garden group (part of the CRN whānau) visited Te Maara Kai o Wirihana at Manurewa High School, an inspiring 6,500m² garden and food forest.🌿 This amazing space brings together students, school and community for hands-on learning and sustainability, and is all about food growing and shared knowledge.The visit is so we can learn how we might create something similar here in Takanini, building on the generous offer of land from Takanini Gurdwara Sahib 🙏💬 Big thanks also to Sustainable Papakura for helping bring people together to make this happen.👉 Keen to be part of the journey?

Locals helping locals get ready

The Papakura Community Resilience Network (CRN) strengthens disaster preparedness in Papakura, Drury, and Takaanini by building local connections, raising community awareness, and providing critical resources. Our goal is to create a more resilient community through collaborative support.

It starts with neighbours

Community resilience begins with neighbourhoods. That means getting to know folks on your street and building a support network. Street Meets are a fun way to get to know the folks on your street. Become a CRN Registered “Street Leader” and organise a cook out in your neighbourhood.
