Whakatāne has limited community events and venues host large events. Council organising of events is good but can always be better.
Sporting facilities are shocking - a manager upgrade needs to take place asap, I'd love to see us host an All Blacks international one day.
More needs to be done for our youth centre, like motions in Rotorua, somewhere we can host birthdays that has Whakatāne pride attached.
Support the council to continue to plan events and activities to generate tourism and well-being.
Place more shade sails in public spaces, and barbecues for recreation in public reserves.
