Over the next 12 months we are developing Placemaking Plans for Hikurangi and Tikipunga.
Placemaking Plans are collaborative plans put together by Council alongside the community, mana whenua and key stakeholders to build a future vision for how a location will change and develop over the next 20-30 years.
Plans for Hikurangi and Tikipunga will be the first to be developed and plans for other areas will follow.
The first step is to carry out a survey to better understand these areas and what matters most to the people in these communities.
The survey isn’t just limited to people who live in Hikurangi or Tikipunga - we also want to hear from people who regularly visit these areas to work, shop, visit friends and whanau or use the parks, sportsgrounds and other facilities in these areas.
Begin the Placemaking Survey
The survey is open until July 8 2020 and can be completed in about 5 minutes.

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)
