Boost your business brand value with the complimentary services of a sustainability coach provided by the Albert-Eden Local Board. We encourage you to sign up for this program to find actions that are the right fit for your workplace. With a coach's assistance, you can reduce your carbon footprint, gain approval and recognition for your sustainability efforts, and be better positioned to save money and manage the rising cost of living with practical solutions.

Spaces for this fully funded coaching program are limited to ten of our members, so if you are interested, please register your interest as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Registration closes 30th July 2024. Greenwoods Corner Epsom Business Association recently had the pleasure of meeting some of the outstanding individuals that help to run and operate the Epsom Community Patrol here in Greenwoods Corner.
The Epsom Community Patrol, which forms part of CPNZ, consists of a dedicated group of volunteers that serve as extra eyes and ears for the New Zealand Police, helping to keep our local residents, visitors and businesses safe and secure. The team collaborates with local police to identify focal points within the community requiring heightened attention. They also carry out risk mitigation, surveillance enhancement, and undertake both mobile and foot patrols across Epsom, Parnell, Newmarket, Remuera, Mt Eden and Greenlane. We would encourage anyone interested in getting involved with this worthwhile cause to consider volunteering to help make a meaningful and positive impact in our local community. Donations to the Epsom Community Patrol to help create safe, more caring communities are also welcome.

A lot has happened over the past year, from the launch of Greenwoods Corner Epsom’s Historical Walk in July to holding our inaugural Spring Festival in September, and from the installation of Festive Stencils in November to running a Pukeko Treasure Hunt Competition in the lead up to Christmas, 2023 was full of local events and activities. 2024 has, for the first time, already seen Greenwoods Corner co-host two events in April for the city-wide Eco Festival and there is much more to come in the year ahead. Please keep checking our Events page to keep up to date on upcoming events in Greenwoods Corner. The AGM provided a detailed insight into each of these recently completed projects and the committee's planned activities for the rest of the year. Immediately following the AGM, attendees reviewed and debated the expansive design changes proposed by Auckland Transport (AT) for Greenwoods Corner Business Centre. This enabled our members to have a robust discussion around AT’s proposals and provide feedback to the committee on the designs currently tabled. This has greatly helped the committee identify key issues to be raised with AT and we thank each of those members who participated and provided feedback. The business association would also like to thank the generous financial support it has received to date from the Albert-Eden Local Board and participating local businesses. Thank you must also go to our co-hosts and event partners that have worked with us throughout the year including the Epsom and Eden District Historical Society, Epsom Girls Grammar Rowing Club, Gardner Road Kindergarten, Albert-Eden Puketapapa Eco Festival, Albert-Eden Climate Action Network, Josca Bicycle Repairs, and Bike Hub Mt Roskill. On 27th April, Greenwoods Corner was once again host to a free bike kitchen pop-up and e-bike trial as part of the city-wide Eco Festival.
Locals and visitors to the area were invited to have a pit stop in the village square while their bicycles (large and small) were safety-checked and basic repairs were carried out free of charge by Josca Bicycle Repairs. Chris from Cycling Action Network was also on hand to give people the opportunity to try an e-bike on the road to see if it suited them, no strings attached. Thank you to all of our event partners - Albert-Eden Local Board, Albert-Eden Puketapapa Eco Festival, Albert-Eden Climate Action Network, Josca Bicycle Repairs, and Bike Hub Mt Roskill. Thanks to everyone who attended our Bike Extravaganza today in Greenwoods Corner.
A particularly big thanks must go to our co-sponsors for making this event possible and to our amazing hosts Richard and Dominic for sharing their knowledge and expertise with the local community. If you missed the team’s visit today, please come along to our next event at the Village Square, 579 Manukau Road, Greenwoods Corner Epsom between 11am – 1pm on 27th April. We hope to see you there! Congratulations to the winners of our Christmas Pukeko Adventure! We loved seeing all of the entries, and we hope that everyone who participated had fun. Thanks for being a part of the incredible Greenwoods Corner Epsom Community. We cannot wait to welcome you all back to our vibrant Village in the City in 2024!

Greenwoods Corner Epsom Spring Festival 2023 proved to be a huge success and was very well attended. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the sunshine, entertainment, activities, food, stalls and specials on offer throughout the day.
Thank you to our local businesses, to the local community and to the Albert Eden Local Board for the immense support shown for the event. Thanks also to everyone that gave generously to EGGS’ rowing fundraiser and those of you that purchased the delicious treats on offer at the Gardner Road Kindergarten bake sale. Special thanks goes to the Tongan Methodist Choir for their energetic and uplifting performance, the Epsom & Eden District Historical Society for their expert guided historical walk of Greenwoods Corner on the day and their generous giveaway of Dr Helen Laurenson’s book “The History of Mount Eden – the district and its people”, to Circability Juggling School for teaching us the art of juggling and of course to our skilled face painters. We look forward to the event becoming an annual fixture on the Auckland calendar. |
