Jack Collins

My principal residence is in the Howick Local Board area. I’m passionate about Pakuranga maintaining its vibrant, connected, and proud community. With strong roots here and a deep commitment to unity, I’m focused on helping our neighbourhood thrive.

While challenges like traffic congestion, safety concerns, and disconnection exist, I see these as opportunities for change. I’m committed to safer streets, re-energising engagement, supporting local events, and ensuring Auckland Transport is accountable to Pakuranga.

I’ve grown up here, attended local schools, served six years on the Howick Youth Council, and remain active through Botany Crime WatchPatrol. With over 60 years of family history in Pakuranga, I understand what makes this place special—and what it needs to grow.

Together, we can build a future where Pakuranga is a great place to live, work and play.
