Draft Community Development Strategy

The Team from Manawatu District Council

Community development is about everyone working together to make communities a fantastic place to grow up, grow old, and everything in between.

We have created a draft Community Development Strategy to guide how we partner with our community to achieve the goal.

Have we got it right? Let us know what you think of the strategy that will meet the goal to:

• be a cohesive, single community as well as a collection of smaller communities based on our geographical location or on areas of special interest or identity.

• celebrate our diversity

• welcome newcomers

• learn and share our knowledge with others

• ensure the environment in which we live is safe, strong and healthy both now and in the future

• build stronger, resilient, sustainable local communities

• strengthen the interests and values of our District’s residents by encouraging active participation

• generate community led opportunities and outcomes

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
