Youth Committee Photo Communication 2.Membership List and Marketing *updated per youth committee term. INTRODUCTION In 2011, the Youth Committee developed Dub.Dee.See. Youth Connect - Hononga Rangatahi 2022, a 10 year plan that supports youth outcomes, aligns with the Youth Development Strategy of Aotearoa and contributes to the Wanganui District Council (the Council) strategic goals and objectives, and fits with Council’s planning processes. In 2014, the Youth Committee began its term in with a series of workshops appropriately titled “Speak Up” (workshop one), “Speak Out” (workshop two) and “Be Heard” (workshop three); the purpose of the workshops was for the Youth Councillors, many of them appointed after the 2011 creation of the Dub.Dee.See. Youth Connect-Hononga Rangatahi 2022 plan, to share their aims and objectives as a Youth Councillor and have these reflected in the strategic plan. Reviewing and updating strategic plans assists people’s understanding and agreement of a shared vision; enables changes within the environment the strategy is being implemented to be taken into consideration; and ensures objectives and goals continue to be relevant. CONTEXT Making up over 15% of our community, it is vital that the needs and views of young people are considered in Council processes and plans.

  • Talbot Antipodean Tour
    THE TALBOT OWNERS’ CLUB TALBOT ANTIPODEAN TOUR A TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND 10 FEBRUARY-5 MARCH 2019. The TOC TALBOT ANTIPODEAN TOUR 2019. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa! Welcome, everyone, to New Zealand and the Talbot Owners’ Club Talbot Antipodean Tour! Over the coming three weeks we will traverse New Zealand from coast to coast and (almost) top to (almost) bottom, avoiding the highways and keeping to the byways as much as we can. We will travel on generally uncluttered roads, winding through ever changing, often dramatic scenery - territory and conditions that will present your Talbot with every opportunity to demonstrate what it’s made of and what it was made for! Our prime focus in the planning of this tour has been to present to you New Zealand and the New Zealand way as we know it - its beauty and its peculiarities, without embellishment. The routes, the stops, the suggested activities have all been chosen with this objective in mind. However, no matter what we have planned or suggested, it will be your personal experiences, your chance encounters, that will make your N.Z Talbot tour truly memorable. Travel well and above all, travel safely. Alistair Robinson & Kevin Beesley February 2019 This is an informal social event and it is the responsibility of participants to comply with current N.Z. road traffic regulations and to ensure that their cars are in a road-worthy and road-legal condition.

  • Wanganui District Community Outcomes Monitoring Report
    Wanganui District Community Outcomes Monitoring Report February 2007 Summary • A growing economy – there are a number of initiatives that are working to generate economic growth within Wanganui and a majority of local residents believe that Wanganui’s economy is stronger today than it was three years ago. Many of these efforts have been directed by Wanganui Inc and work to date has focused on development activities, tourism promotion and events. There has also been demonstrated growth in the number of businesses, a decrease in the number of unemployment beneficiaries and an increasing trend in retail sales. • Diverse and quality educational opportunities – educational options are generally meeting the aspirations of Wanganui residents by providing quality standards and diverse opportunities. Our qualification attainment rates are demonstrating improvement and opportunities for informal, life-long learning are encouraged by the library, Sarjeant Gallery and Regional Museum. • A safe and healthy community – Council continues to work in partnership with other organisations to ensure that Wanganui remains a safe and healthy place to live and visit. These efforts are reflected in survey results which indicate that most residents believe this to be the case. However, ongoing efforts in crime reduction and health improvements must necessarily continue. • Recognition as a great place to live and visit – 95% of residents would personally recommend Wanganui as a place to live. This suggests that Wanganui is an attractive and increasingly dynamic city, well placed to meet the needs of its residents. It also indicates that feelings of community pride and wellbeing are high. • Development of amenities and recreational opportunities – a great majority of local residents are ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with Wanganui’s provision of recreational areas and facilities.
