Placemaking Programme launches in Whangarei
Today we are celebrating our new Placemaking Programme, working collaboratively with communities to create great places to live, work and play. Have you got something to add?
Over the next few years we’ll be looking for input from people about how they would like to see their neighbourhoods change. To start, we are first creating plans alongside people from Hikurangi and Tikipunga.
Please read more about placemaking and complete our short survey to get started!

So we want to hear what you think:

59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!

24.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
