We asked and you told us what you would like us to focus on and below are some of the main themes. For the full story on what we heard go to: haveyoursay.gw.govt.nz...

There is a high demand for more engagement and consultation with community groups, and in general more engagement with the general public.

There were a number of people and groups looking for a more collaborative approach

GWRC should act as more of a facilitator rather than the practitioner, and assist in the coordination of community groups more. We should work with and support community groups.

We need to balance the wants of recreational hunters with the undertaking of pest control, and utilise these groups more.

We'll now go off and do some writing and come back to you with a draft early next year.

Many thanks,

The Biosecurity Team

New Zealand is the only western country not to offer specialist Arts schools for students who are naturally creative and talented.

These students are marginalised in schools whose primary focus is STEM and sport.

Many of these students suffer from depression and behavioural problems as a result. Specialist Arts Schools have very low to zero bullying and provide the type of learning environment that best supports creative young people.

We'd like to create a specialist Arts High School (think FAME) in the arts capital of New Zealand, Wellington!

The school would offer specialist training in Music, Drama, Dance, Visual and Digital/Media Arts.

We'd love your feedback during the planning process.
