HAVE YOUR SAY - 5pm Wednesday 28th April 2021 to 5pm Friday 28th May 2021. Whangarei District Council Draft Climate Action Plan for Whangarei.
 
In response to Council’s declaration of a Climate Emergency, the Action Plan is a Whangarei-wide response to the current and future challenges caused by Climate Change.
 
Workshops have been hosted with some of our communities and the feedback and the discussions have been collated. The reviewing of information is in process through the Long Term Plan engagement.
 
Whangarei-wide public engagement is now invited via an online feedback process which will give all of our communities the opportunity to influence the direction of the Climate Action Plan. From 5pm Wednesday 28th April 2021 to 5pm Friday 28th May 2021, an online survey will be made available on WDC website alongside:
  • A 2 page summary of the Draft Climate Action Plan; and
  • Draft Climate Action Plan-full action suite.
The more people who are involved in this process, the better-off this work becomes.
