Palmerston North City Council is calling for submissions on our proposed Food Security and Resilience Policy 2024.
Food security is a fundamental part of community wellbeing. It means having reliable access to safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food.
We’ve developed a draft policy to guide how we support food security and resilience in our community. Our draft policy recognises the need for partnership and collaboration with community initiatives. The Council can be a supporter and advocate as well as a provider and facilitator.
To read the draft policy or to make an online submission go to pncc.govt.nz/foodsecurity
Consultation closes 4pm Friday 8 November 2024
Please make sure your submission includes your name and address, including a daytime phone number or your email address. Please also state if you want to make an oral submission as well. The Council is planning to hear oral submissions in December 2024. We’ll write to you after the submission period has closed with information on the hearings.
Emailed submissions can sent to submission@pncc.govt.nz (subject: Draft Food Security and Resilience Policy).
Printed copies of the draft policy and submission form are also available at our Customer Service Centre at 32 Te Marae o Hine The Square, or at any of our libraries. Please call us on 06 356 8199 to have a copy sent to you, or to have your submission recorded for you.
Written submissions can be hand delivered to the Customer Service Centre or mailed to:
