Consultation and Community Engagement

Community engagement and consultations

Council regularly undertakes consultation on issues of interest to our communities. These can be as part of official consultations required under the Local Government Act (e.g. Annual Plan, Long Term Plan, Bylaw and Policy Reviews, etc.) or as part of a community or other project.

The projects listed below and in the left had menu are open consultations we would like your feedback on. Feedback from Ruapehu communities and other interested parties on matters Council is consulting on have a real influence and impact on Council's final decision on the matter. Your opinion matters and does make a difference.

Need help with the process?

We understand that people can often find Council's processes or requirements for having your say on something complex and confusing. Likewise, we want to make the process for you to find out about what we are asking for feedback on as simple and as easy as possible.

If you have any queries on how to have your say please email Todd or call him at Council on 07 895 8188 or 06 385 8364.

General feedback on any issue welcomed

You don't have to wait for Council to consult on any particular issue before having your say. We welcome feedback and comments at any time and on any issue relevant to council activities and life in Ruapehu.

For reporting issues and staying informed on matters and places you care about we highly recommend that you download the Antenno app.

General feedback such as this can be on-line via the Have Your Say page on this website.
