Waipā is one of New Zealand's fastest-growing districts.
We're proud of our strong communities and reputation as the Home of Champions. But like all councils across New Zealand, we're facing increasing challenges – from funding infrastructure and supporting growth to keeping rates affordable while planning for the future.
The Government has signalled major changes to local government and has invited councils to help shape what comes next through a process called Head Start.
For Waipā, the question isn't whether change is coming. It's how we make sure any change delivers the best outcomes for our communities.
That's why we're seeking your feedback before making any decisions about our future direction.
