Public Meeting - Draft Community Development Strategy
Community development is about everyone working together to make our communities a fantastic place to grow up, grow old and everything in between.
There is a public meeting (2 July 5:30 - 6:30pm, at MDC Council Chambers, Manchester Street, Feilding), where community organisations that may have received funding from us, or which may be considering seeking funding, can find out what outcomes are proposed in our draft Community Development Strategy, and how it may affect them.
• How we have developed the strategy
• What is the same and what has changed in the services we will be funding
• Making submissions on the draft strategy
RSVP - Please let us know if you are coming for catering/space purposes - public@mdc.govt.nz.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
