There’s still time for Aucklanders to give feedback on the future use of Western Springs Stadium.
The consultation, led by Auckland Council and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited (TAU), includes three options and seeks public feedback until midnight on Sunday 15 June 2025.
The volume of submissions has been very positive, with more than 9,200 already received. More than 1,200 of these have come from each of the Albert-Eden and Waitematā local board areas.
Max Hardy, Auckland Council’s Director of Group Strategy and Chief Executive’s Office, encourages even more people to take part.
“It’s great to see strong interest in the future of Western Springs Stadium. We want thoughtful input from a wide cross-section of Aucklanders so that decisions we make reflect the full range of perspectives on how to best use this significant community asset,” says Mr Hardy.
Nick Hill, Chief Executive of TAU, makes no assumptions about the outcome of this process.
“Western Springs Stadium is a special player in our stadium network and there’s huge potential there. Once we have the community’s views alongside other important determinants in the decision making process, we’ll be better placed to support the future of the stadium in a way that better serves more Aucklanders for years to come.
“Please tell us what you think of the options we’ve put in front of you,” adds Mr Hill.
The easiest way to have your say is by visiting the AK Have Your Say website and completing the online feedback form. You can also give feedback in person at the Central City, Grey Lynn, Little Leys, Mt Albert or Pt Chevalier libraries.
To support accessibility, key information has been translated into te reo Māori, Simplified Chinese, Samoan, Tongan, Korean, and Hindi. A New Zealand Sign Language video is also available on the website.
A full analysis of the feedback will be available in late July. The feedback received will help the council to consider this subject again in a public Governing Body meeting on 31 July 2025.
