Submissions on the Whakatāne District Council's draft 2019/20 Annual Plan will close at 5pm on Monday, 29 April, so now is the time to have your say!

Key focus areas highlighted for feedback in the Council’s Annual Plan consultation document include:

Enclosing the outdoor pool at the Whakatāne Aquatic and Fitness Centre

Earthquake strengthening the Whakatāne District War Memorial Hall

A targeted rate for Whakatāne CBD businesses, proposed by the EPIC (Events Promotion Initiatives and Community) group, to fund a town centre marketing and promotion strategy

Changing the way debt limits are set in the Council’s financial strategy.

The consultation document also provides a table of indicative rating costs for communities and sectors throughout the District. While cost increases vary, the average increase proposed across the District is 4.16 percent. That compares to the 2.88 percent increase signaled for the year in the 2018-29 Long Term Plan.

Hi Neighbours

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.

KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.

"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”

40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz
