  • Introduce facilities that are fit for purpose and the modern world, bring events to our area, and present our towns positively.

    Support community events with promotion and event management assistance.

  • Celebrate our community by supporting events that reflect the diversity in our community.

    Ensure public facilities are well resourced and fit for use.

  • Ensure our reserves are much better looked after. Gilmour Reserve, a jewel in Waihi's crown, needs its own management plan.

    Improve the top of Morgan Park with a new non-rates funded skate park and pump track, partnering with the Waihi Community Forum to source external funding.

    Encourage and support festivals and community events in our town and district. Continue to support the Creative Communities scheme.
