Seeking a group to drive our Onerahi Community-Lead Projects
Kia ora koutou,
This is an open invitation for keen individuals or groups to put their hand up to drive the Onerahi 'Community Lead Projects' (CLP) initiative.
The lead CLP group needs to:
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ be able to meet online regularly
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ be diverse and inclusive
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ be able to demonstrate wide community support
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ have the time and energy!
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ be able to engage with and motivate the wider community
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ consider the needs and wishes of local residents
Funding is not given directly to the lead group, however it is administered by Council on your behalf.
To recap: the lead group can be an existing group, two or more groups joining forces, or a bunch of community-mind individuals. If you can demonstrate the above requirements and you're keen to help direct Community-Lead Projects in Onerahi, then please send in an expression of interest in an email to Claire Wilson claire.wilson@wdc.govt.nz by 5pm, Thursday 31 March.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereβs a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need πͺπ°πͺ
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
