Facebook/Instagram
In today's digital age, the power of social media cannot be overstated, and for Grey Lynn 2030, Facebook is an accessible and effective medium. It provides a seamless and user-friendly platform for us to engage with Grey Lynn, Westmere, Arch Hill and Ponsonby residents.
For quite a few years we just used Facebook to keep our community well-informed about various projects underway, upcoming events, and important initiatives that contribute to our area's sustainability and well-being.
In May 2025, with AI and the decline in Facebook, we have updated our website and will be using this as our main way of communicating again. This will explain the big gap in our posts.
Take a look at Facebook and you can see the whole journey.
