Our District faces big challenges and exciting opportunities

Our District and communities will face some big challenges and opportunities over the coming ten years and beyond. This represents an exciting time to ‘Reimagine’ what the future of our District can be. Here at the Council we feel a great sense of responsibility to ensure that our District continues to be a great place to live, work, play, raise a family, and do business.

Right now much of our focus is on supporting our community and economy as we navigate through the impacts of not only COVID 19, but also the December 2019 Whakaari eruption. As we recover from these events, we are looking to the future, ensuring that we can build back better and work towards the kind of future that is important to all of us. This conversation will help determine what those ‘important’ things are.
