How you can help is by sharing this message with your colleagues, friends and networks as well as taking part in the process yourself too.
Google 'Lets Talk Waimakariri" to find the link.A draft plan, called ‘Waimakariri: Better than Before’, is in development and currently has six programmes of focus including:
· Playing a role in leadership, advocacy and providing support for businesses who are facing a downturn
· Preparing strategies to further improve our town centres and business areas while accelerating the ‘green economy'
· Supporting investment from the development and building sector
· Bringing forward planned capital projects that could stimulate the economy and provide jobs
