Have you got some good ideas about making the Ōhope Beach community an even greater place to work, live and visit? The Ōhope Beach Community Board is hosting a community meeting on 13 May where residents can offer their ideas and discuss possibilities for future improvements to the area.
Ōhope Beach Community Board Chairperson Gerard Casey says no idea is too big, or too small. “We’re wanting to find out what our residents think is missing, what needs improvement, what could be reworked or renewed, and what needs to be different,” Mr Casey says. “Once we establish the community’s views on the issues and challenges we face, we can define the barriers that are preventing us from moving forward and look to develop actions for future improvements.”
“We know there is a wealth of good ideas sitting out there in our community, so this is an opportunity to voice them, and with some momentum and community backing, turn them into realities.”
Mr Casey says the happiest communities appear to be those that have a vested interest in their area’s growth and development and involvement at a grassroots level. “We’re looking for positive contributions on the night, and I’m confident we’ll receive some great input.”
The community meeting will be held on Wednesday, 13 May 2015, from 7-9 pm, at the Ōhope Bowling Club, Harbour Road, Ōhope.
