About the Community Board
The Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board hold regular meetings that you’re welcome to attend. Anyone can ask to speak to the board about a local issue, activity or project.
The Community Board's main roles are to:
- Represent and act as an advocate for the interests of our community.
- Consider and report on all matters referred to us by the council, or any matter of interest to the board.
- Maintain an overview of services provided by the council within the community.
- Communicate with community organisations and special interest groups within the community.

Richmond Gala 2024
A brilliant local day out, and a showcase of all the amazing happenings in and around our suburb, the Richmond Gala is a collaborative community event hosted by Richmond Community Garden, Avebury House and We Are Richmond.
From Vogel Street to Eveleyn Couzins Avenue, the entire riverside corner will be humming! Visit the carboot sale in the Community Garden’s meadow; wander through the garden where local orgs, demonstrations, performers, and the fun of the fare go straight through the playground, and on up to Avebury House where crafty and creative stallholders will be on the lawn. There'll also be live entertainment, fabulous food vendors, and of course Avebury’s famous Devonshire Tea in the House!
