Change, uncertainty and innovation have dominated the past few years, and we predict change to continue in the world and across Aotearoa New Zealand. Together with the community we have created the Ōtorohanga District – Economic Wellbeing Strategy to understand what we need to do as a Council, and with partners, to face the numerous economic, social, and environmental changes together, building on the many opportunities that exist.

Doing so we seek to create a more prosperous future for Ōtorohanga district, where our environment is valued and collective wellbeing is enhanced. We are committed to weaving the future, together with our communities, and as such have spent time talking with and listening to our communities in the development of this strategy. Our people, our places, and our partnerships are central to our focus, as we weave the threads of resilience, sustainability, and transformation together.

The strategies vision "The people and the environments across Ōtorohanga District thrive, with opportunities for everyone to live their best lives"

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    In June 2024 Council adopted the Ōtorohanga District Economic Wellbeing Strategy.  The development of the strategy was a true co-design process with the community, involving a series of surveys, workshops and one on one interviews.  As a result of that a list of actions were developed under the four Pou/Pillars of:

    • STRONG TOWN + STRONG RURAL COMMUNITIES
    • THRIVING COMMUNITIES
    • INFRASTRUCTURE, PLANNING + OUR ENVIRONMENT
    • SKILLS + EDUCATION

    With our continued intention of working collaboratively with our community we are seeking your input to help us prioritise the delivery of the actions.  The following survey identifies what actions Council are already undertaking or are committed to delivering and asks you to rank the remaining actions.  The collated results will lead to the Economic Wellbeing work programme for the coming years.

     You can read the full strategy on the project page where you accessed this survey.
