Shaping our shared spaces - Review of key community ture ā-rohe/bylaws
We're reviewing six key bylaws that help guide how we use wāhi tūmatanui/public spaces, care for our kararehe/animals, enjoy our tātahi/beaches, protect stock, whakahaumauru huarahi/road safety, and manage waipiro/alcohol in public areas.
Whether you're a dog owner, beach visitor, boatie, or simply someone who cares about the future of our district - now is the time to have your say.
