Shore Action is a political ticket which contests the boards and council seats in the North Shore Ward of the Auckland Council.[1] They have a strong focus on retention of local assets and investment in the natural environment, along with a focus on local participation in local body politics.
Grant Gillon, a former Alliance Party MP, and AUT lecturer, along with Anne-Elise Smithson, a Community Development Coordinator for the Children's Autism Foundation, contested the North Shore Ward seat on the Auckland City Council.[2] The wider team contested the local boards on the North Shore Ward.
While neither Gillon nor Smithson won a council seat for the ward, Shore Action did win seats on the Devonport-Takapuna and Kaipātiki Local Boards, and the Birkenhead Licensing Trust.
