Draft Community Development Strategy
Community development is about everyone working together to make communities a fantastic place to grow up, grow old, and everything in between.
We have created a draft Community Development Strategy to guide how we partner with our community to achieve the goal.
Have we got it right? Let us know what you think of the strategy that will meet the goal to:
• be a cohesive, single community as well as a collection of smaller communities based on our geographical location or on areas of special interest or identity.
• celebrate our diversity
• welcome newcomers
• learn and share our knowledge with others
• ensure the environment in which we live is safe, strong and healthy both now and in the future
• build stronger, resilient, sustainable local communities
• strengthen the interests and values of our District’s residents by encouraging active participation
• generate community led opportunities and outcomes

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
