Want to make sure our unique community voice is preserved and strengthened in local government?
Right now, most parts of the country have two councils — a regional council (which looks after things like environmental management, public transport planning and flood protection) and a district or city council (which looks after roads, water, rubbish, libraries, parks and consents).
The government is changing how our local councils are organised.
The Head Start pathway is a voluntary, faster option that lets councils that are ready put forward a proposal to government.
Learn more about what is happening and help to shape the pathways forward which are meaningful for our community in Whāingaroa.
When: Sunday 28th June
Time: 2-4pm
Where: Raglan Town Hall
Guest speakers include:
Penny Hulse – community activator who campaigned to have community voice retained in the Auckland Super City.
Mayor Aksel Bech – as Mayor of Waikato District Council, Aksel is leading the push to develop options which will make sense to our communities.
