Tararua District Council

Fund local festivals and cultural events to celebrate diversity and strengthen community connections.

Improve sporting facilities and access to recreation to support healthy, active lifestyles across all ages.

Streamline liquor licensing to support responsible hospitality while protecting community wellbeing.

Collaborate with smaller communities in the maintenance of shared spaces and council-owned buildings such as community halls and parks.

Ensure any group has full access to council resources for community activities and aid in cutting through red tape for one-off events.

Help link community volunteer groups with other groups wanting to do any event so the community can help each other as a team.

Link any funding with national funding so ratepayers are not footing the bill for events that increase our already overpaid rates.

Create safer spaces throughout centralised townships to prevent anti-social behaviour and invest more into CCTV footage and lighting.

Enhance and upgrade public spaces with recreational activities or projects that benefit the community and youth.

Host more community events, markets and festivals that promote the district and bring in tourism and spending in the local economy.
