We're supporting 25 communities across our region to develop community plans that identify and prioritise recovery needs.
These plans reflect the unique aspirations of each community, ensuring that our recovery efforts are aligned with their specific expectations and requirements. This includes:
Rural communities
Our focus is on enhancing efficiencies and resilience in rural areas, aiming to build back more sustainably for the future. The community plans in these areas are crucial in guiding our overall recovery initiatives.
Urban communities
In urban areas, we're exploring the most effective approaches to facilitate recovery opportunities, tailoring our efforts to meet the diverse needs of city residents.
Inclusive support
We're committed to inclusive recovery processes, providing support to various groups within our communities, including Pasifika, sports and recreation groups, and whaikaha (disability and accessibility sectors). This inclusive approach ensures that no group is left behind as we rebuild and recover.
Focus for the next 3 years
This initiative is part of a new, dynamic process aimed at forging meaningful connections with our communities. See our 2024-2027 Three Year Plan for more details on goals and monitoring progress.
