Kāwhia and Aotea Rural Concept Plan


It’s time to talk about the future, and what that looks like for our communities.

Ōtorohanga District Council, together with our partners and communities, want to make plans that focus on our people, our places and our partnerships, weaving the threads of resilience, sustainability and transformation, together with our community’s aspirations. 

We'd like to hear your thoughts on what you think the future of your town or village should look like. You can have your say by dropping a marker on the map below or by taking our online survey (next to the map button below). 

Your feedback will help us to develop the Kāwhia, Aotea and Ōpārau Concept Plan which will provide the vision for all of our future planning for this area.

This is your home, and we can’t do this without you, your time and input are important – so have your say!
