On the 20th of November a conference on social policy and community development will be held in Auckland.
The conference, “Passing Go” will look at social issues in Auckland and how the ‘Supercity’ changes in local government will affect the delivery of services to the community.
Key speakers include Minister of Social Development and Employment Paula Bennett, Minister of Local Government Rodney Hide, and several frontline researchers and agents of change. There will also be a debate featuring a number of Auckland’s Mayors.
The conference is hosted by community groups North Shore Community and Social Services and Raeburn House, with support from the North Shore, Auckland, Waitakere and Manukau City Councils. Other councils throughout greater Auckland are also involved in promotion and in providing speakers and delegates.
The full-day conference will be held in the Harbour Function Centre, North Harbour Stadium, Albany, on 20 November 2009.
There are limited seats, so early registration is recommended. The cost of registration is $90, or $50 for group bookings of four or more people.
