Tapawera Community Plan

Central to the whole Community-Led Development Programme approach is each community having a community plan, so this is why Tapawera Connect's Community-Led Development Team is devoting much of its energy into facilitating the process for Tapawera to create our own community plan.

Many great ideas have already been put forward by community members over the past couple of years, and some a lot longer ago than that!  We’ve captured all of these and now we have engaged someone skilled at bringing together community plans.  Together with the plan consultant we have looked at these ideas and identified some voices that haven’t been heard. 

The plan must reflect the whole community’s aspirations.  So we are about to undertake a round of targeted consultation after which a draft plan will be drawn up and shared with the community for feedback, we hope by the end of September. This feedback will focus on which ideas the community sees as as most important for our future so these and other ideas in the plan can be fleshed out with goals and actions to achieve them.
