Community groups and businesses are encouraged to use our Community Directory Portal to create a directory listing.

Please note
- Listings promoting or linked to political parties and private enterprise will not be included.
- Council has the right to determine which lisitings will be approved. We may decline any listings submitted containing content that we determine in our sole discretion are unlawful, offensive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or our Terms & Conditions.
- You may only submit one entry for your organisation.
- You may list your organisation under either 'Business Directory' or 'Community Directory' not both.
- It is your responsibility to maintain your community or business directory listing to ensure your details remain up-to-date. Council accepts no responsibility or liability for any errors and requires that community and business organisations regularly check their listing for errors.
Getting Started
- Create a free account and click "Submit."
- Enter the code we emailed you to verify your email address.
- Set your password.
- Fill out your contact details in case we need to reach you about your event (this information will not be displayed on our site).
- Review our Terms and Conditions.
- Submit your listing.
We will review your submission and send you an email to inform you whether it has been approved or if we require any additional information. Minor changes may be made to your event for formatting or to correct any typos before approval.
Tips and tricks
- We recommend that your group or organization uses a generic email address. This is important because it ensures that when committee members or key personnel change, the email address and account login remain current.
- Emails we send to you will be auto-generated and will come from noreply@horowhenua.govt.nz. Please add this address to your 'safe sender' list, as some email clients have strict spam filters that may direct our correspondence to your junk mail folder.
Reviewing your listing(s)
When you submit your listing, we will review it before it gets published. We’ll take a look at it and send you an email once it has been approved or if we need any additional information.
Additionally, we will send a review notification to your email address every 12 months for each of your listings. Upon receiving this notification, please log into your account to ensure that all of your listing details are up to date.
