The new draft strategy is geared at pushing us towards our vision for the mighty Waikato of “empowering our people, caring for our place”.
We’re interested in your thoughts on this new vision and whether you think our six strategic priorities – water, climate, biodiversity, coastal and marine, sustainable infrastructure, transport connections – are the right issues to focus our effort on over the next decade.
Please share your thoughts with us. The survey is open until 1 March.
