Waipa is ageing. In 30 years’ time more than a third of us will be 65 or older. It's a demographic shift that will change the face of our communities. Some changes are easy to predict (more retirement villages, fewer pre-school centres). Others require a bit more imagination. Will the seniors of tomorrow be more active than today’s? What recreation amenities will they need? With more people on fixed incomes, how will the retail sector Otorohanga Waihohonu Road adapt?

WATER WITH THAT?

Water. An essential element of life. Every day we drink it, wash with it, recreate in it, use it around our homes and in our businesses. We’re blessed with plentiful water and assume, naturally, it will always there when we need it. But pure safe reliable water doesn’t just “happen.” How can we be sure Waipa will have a reliable safe water supply in 30 years from now? Will we remain committed to keeping our waterways clean and pure? Are we prepared to continue investing in water infrastructure - the dams, pipes, plants and reservoirs that collect water and get it to our places? And are we up to the challenge of managing demand to ensure everyone gets their fair share? IT’S HERE NOW! C’mon Waipa. Share your thoughts. Because it’s our future we’re talking about.
