This is just a precautionary measure for now, particularly as we have some rain forecast over the next few days. However, if we don’t see some sustained heavy rain in the next few weeks, we may ask people to start actively conserving water.

“We are gathering feedback from newcomers, ethnic communities, organisations and the wider Whangārei community to help draft the Welcoming Plan,” says Council Welcoming Communities Coordinator Devika Shukla. “Your voice matters, and we want to hear your thoughts, experiences and ideas. This is a collaborative effort to create a more inclusive and supportive community for everyone.”
The interactive, all-welcome meeting will focus on building meaningful connections between newcomers and existing communities, to help form a shared sense of pride about being part of a culturally rich and vibrant community.
📸 captions: Our first hui in February was a blast and we want to get more people along to contribute. The Welcoming Plan aims to promote healthier, happier and more productive communities by welcoming newcomers and embracing their cultural needs, like what we saw at Taste Whangārei earlier this month.
We’re also running a Welcoming Plan survey and we would love to hear from more people! Do that here: www.wdc.govt.nz...
