Murupara Community Action Plan
Recently a survey was conducted by the Murupara Community Board and supported by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Manawa to collect information to help build the Murupara Community Action Plan.
We have collated the results of this survey received by members of the Murupara community. This has provided us with some great information, identified some key priorities, and will assist us with the next steps towards developing the Community Action Plan.
