Record submissions helped shape final decisions

Following 35-plus face-to-face meetings and virtual engagement opportunities during the consultation period alone, a record 1,441 submissions were received and considered by elected members.

Elected members have also confirmed our vision: Small city benefits, big city ambition and our Oranga Papaioea City Strategy, which encompasses our four goals and associated plans for achieving our vision and strategy.

Mayor Grant Smith said the public feedback helped shape the final plan.

“We’ve been thrilled to see such a large amount of people getting involved in our long-term plan and having their say, including many first timers. Whether it was a formal submission, on our Facebook live, during public engagement sessions, drawings, poems, videos, public meetings, face-to-face or over email, it was just fabulous to see people having their say on the future of our city. This feedback was crucial in helping elected members make decisions on the final plan. Our plan shows we have listened to our community and made decisions that reflect their concerns.”
