You are invited to provide input into the community plans
The Waikato District Council came to your town in 2018 to hear what was important to you and what you wanted to see in your community in the future.
We heard lots of great ideas and now we want to hear what your top three priorities for your town are. These priorities will be used by Council when we make decisions. It’s important to note that just because a project is in the Blueprint, it might not happen straight away, or even at all. If it does happen, the project may not necessarily be Council-funded.
Instead it might be led and funded by other agencies with Council’s support.
It’s important we hear from you, even if we’ve got it right and you have no suggestions.
See the attached PDF for more details.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
