Tēnā koutou,

Whānau participation, feedback into the consultation document for the LTP is very important. Our first two drop in sessions at the Te Uri o Hau Tangata Development office and Te Roroa office were successful and there is one final opportunity to get whānau along to a Mana Whenua in person event. Our in person events provide an opportunity for you to kōrero with Elected members and staff! 

• The Councilors are asking for feedback on specific topics like ideas for the future Dargaville community hub, whether council should be changing the way it funds parks and libraries, a targeted rate for Dargaville Sportsville, and more, but you can comment on anything.
