Raglan NaturallyTimeline
1999-2001 The beginning of our community plan. Our community and WDC work on our plan and Raglan Naturally Community Plan is created. Key areas identified and project priorities for community infrastructure and facilities, created a roadmap for relationships and responsibilities between the community, the Raglan Community Board and WDC. In 2008 Raglan Naturally reviewed. Briefly summarised the intent of RN and reaffirmed its relevance. Produced a comprehensive project list.
