Home Page

Ranui is a community of some 8000 people located in urban Waitakere City (West Auckland), New Zealand. It`s a happening place full of diverse people and sub-communities. It is also the home of the Ranui Action Project which is the sponsor of this site.

 

Ranui Action Project

The Ranui Action Project (RAP) is an innovative community development project, which brings together the Ranui community, Waitakere City Council, government agencies and volunteer groups, to improve health and wellbeing in Ranui.

 

Starting in 2001 with community visioning festivals, the project developed the Ranui Action Plan. The RAP Incorporated Society was formed in 2002. Rap employs three fulltime staff and has been working on a wide range of community-driven projects ever since.

 

Primary funders are/have been SCAF/CYFS, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Development. A formal evaluation was carried out in 2004 by the Centre for Social and Health Outcomes Research and Evaluation (SHORE) and Te Ropu Whariki.
