Strategic Vision
- A human heart for Johnsonville – within the are of the commercial centre we need public space – ie, that is not controlled by a corporate
- Beautification – Local people want Johnsonville to look and feel nice
- Preservation of history & heritage
- Better motorway access – North Johnsonville – traffic congestion is caused by people from other suburbs travelling through Johnsonville
- And LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE NEED A COMMUNITY BOARD – because this is the most important suburban centre in the Wellington City area
