Partnering with our Community
The Whakatāne District Council recognises that local communities, through their diverse range of activities, make a major contribution to the social, environmental, cultural and economic well-being of the Whakatāne District.
In order to help these communities to make this contribution, the Whakatāne District Council has a variety of funding schemes available to community groups, voluntary organisations, and in some cases individuals. The purpose of these schemes is to support groups and individuals to meet local needs and increase participation in local activities.
The Council is also responsible for administering a number of grants made available to the community from other organisations, including Sport New Zealand and Creative New Zealand.
