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 NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
