Placemaking Week 2018
Kia ora tatou,
Placemaking week in New Zealand is the 12th to the 21st of October which is coming up. I wanted to encourage all of you as champions in your community to think about doing a place activation during this time that’s fun and in a way that matters to you.
Below you will find links to New Zealand’s Placemaking Week page. Don’t worry that most of the talk is about Auckland. They are hosting the event this year and think they are pretty great but it’s an opportunity to show what great work is being done in other communities outside the big smoke. They will be sharing other placemaking events around the country during this time so lets get some Wairarapa ones up there.

Happy to discuss further with anyone who’s interested or if you want to just get on and do it even better! Please at least share with me if you are thinking about doing something so I can help publicize it and share it with the national community of placemakers.
Paimārire / Respectfully,

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?
