We want to hear from you - Whakapā mai!
We're currently in the process of developing our Long Term Plan for 2018-28. This guides our work and budget for the next 10 years. It’s a pretty big deal for the future direction of our District. To make sure that we are on the right track, we want to hear from you.
A good place to get started is to read our consultation document. It outlines the key priorities for the coming 10 years and asks for your feedback on some of the important decisions we need to make.
You should have received this document in the mail by now. If not, visit our website to find out more (link below). If you’d prefer a physical copy you can pick one up from our libraries or customer service centres in Whakatāne or Murupara.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
