In partnership with the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board, the Tāmaki Makaurau Recovery Office has launched weekly drop-in events with local storm recovery navigators at the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Office. These will be held every Tuesday, and the last event of the year will be on Tuesday 19 December. The first one after the holidays will be on Tuesday 9 January. These free drop-in events are for individuals, whānau and families who’ve been impacted by the floods in any way and need support.
At these events, you can speak to one of our storm recovery navigators one-on-one about your situation. Our team can help connect you with support agencies, provide you with information about recovery, and help you access wellbeing, social and health services.
Māngere is one of the priority areas for the Recovery Office, being one of the worst hit communities, with complex existing challenges. We are committed to continuing to support individuals, families and whānau in Māngere throughout the recovery journey.
Drop-in sessions continue across the region with a mix of event and location-based opportunities to talk to our navigators. Please find more information here.

The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Boad Office address is Shop 17, 93 Bader Drive, Māngere Town Centre.
