The 2009 Rakaia Community Strategic Plan is now available for public consultation.
The first Rakaia Community Strategic Plan was developed in 2000/01 by the Rakaia community in a process facilitated by Ashburton District Council. The plan has been the catalyst for much change in Rakaia and has, by any standards, been a resounding success. It has provided the Rakaia community, Ashburton District Council and other key stakeholders with a structure and focus for developing Rakaia in the ways the community identified from the outset of the plan.
The 2009 Rakaia Community Strategic Plan builds on the success of the previous plan. Most of the actions from the original plan have been achieved – so the new plan provides ways to take that next leap to continue to develop Rakaia as a great place to live and visit.
A series of workshops were held with the Rakaia community to develop the strategic plan. These workshops helped to confirm the goals Rakaia has for the future and the specific actions of how Rakaia will get there.
We wish to invite you to give us feedback on the draft Rakaia Community Strategic Plan. The feedback can cover any aspect relating to the plan and you can write it however you like. We have provided some specific questions if you would like to respond to these, or if you would prefer, you can write your own submission by attaching additional pages to the cover sheet provided.
We are also looking for any great photos or images you may have of life in Rakaia that could be included in the final plan. Please let us know if you do have images that could be used.
