Advocacy team direct link with local community
Our team is available to act as the direct link to the community for all Council functions. In this way we act as advocates for the community in ensuring that your suggestions, needs and concerns are addressed. As advocates for the Council we ensure that Council information and outcomes are known, and that residents are provided access to the Council’s decision-making processes. Part of our work entails support for the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board — your elected members. In this role we work closely with the board, assisting elected members in networking and discussion with a wide range of groups and individuals in the community. Seeking views Work typically related to that support involves the process of seeking community views on a wide range of issues, assisting with the implementation and-or overview of Council projects (such as roading, parks and community support services) and assisting with the determining and prioritising of projects of a local nature. In all of this activity we also maintain strong links with our colleagues in the Council’s various business units. The Advocacy Team welcomes any inquiries on information or access to your Community Board or to other units of the Council. Contact: phone 941 6732. |
