A commitment...
...to the local community
The publication of this Community Plan for Ngaruawahia and thesurrounding area is the result of the hard work and dedication of thepeople who believe in the future of Ngaruawahia.This belief is based on the collective view of Ngarauawahia as a close,supportive community with beautiful people and beautiful places.Nourished by its strong sense of history and culture, the potential of the area for growth and development has been largely untapped.The Ngaruawahia Community Plan, as it is presented, is a framework for achieving a positive social, economic and environmental future forthe town and its surrounding area. It is a commitment to the localcommunity which requires the support of the people, service/volunteer organisations, sports groups, Council, Government Agencies,investors, and funding organisations to ensure that the ideas forNgaruawahia are achieved.This Plan is a collection of peoples thoughts and ideas - a series of plans which signpost the desired future development of the area andwhich will guide the actions of all involved. It identifies what we valueabout Ngaruawahia and, therefore, what we wish to have protected.The development of a Community Plan began with a series of questions:
