Community Plans

Horowhenua is made up of many different neighbourhoods and communities, all of whom have their own unique identity and special characteristics from the Tararua Ranges to the sea.

We want to ensure we keep what’s special and support projects that are important to each community.

A community plan is the voice of that community and will highlight their goals and aspirations. It will outline what the community wants to preserve in their area and outline ways to enhance and develop other areas of importance.

Adopted Community Plans

Council has formally adopted the Waitārere Beach, Ōhau, Manakau, Foxton Beach / Te Wharangi and Shannon / Otāuru Community Plans. These plans were developed based on extensive engagement with the community and set out the vision, values, priorities and actions of each community.
