North Shore Neighbourhood Support works to build safer, stronger, and more connected communities across Auckland’s North Shore.

We cover the local board areas of Takapuna-Devonport, Kaipātiki, Hibiscus and Bays, and Upper Harbour.

We work in close partnership with NZ Police, Community Patrol, Māori and Pacific Wards, Blue Light, Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ), and Auckland Emergency Management (AEM) as part of the North Shore Safety Network (NSSN). Together, we focus on reducing crime, building emergency resilience, and strengthening the relationships that hold our neighbourhoods together.

We are proud to have formal Memorandums of Understanding with both NZ Police and Auckland Emergency Management, which reinforce our commitment to collaboration and coordinated community support.
