Shannon Community Plan

The development of the Shannon Community Plan is gaining momentum, driven by strong community support during the Long Term Plan 2024-2044. This enthusiasm made it a top priority for Council.

Progress So Far

The journey began with Council and Ngāti Whakatere inviting Shannon residents to a launch event at Whakawehi marae, where the foundation for the plan was laid.

Following this, Council, iwi, and the Shannon community gathered for the first workshop at the Shannon Memorial Hall on 21 November 2024. Discussions focused on forming a Working Group, identifying other ways for people to get involved, and exploring the most effective ways to engage with the wider community.

Building on this progress, the second workshop at the Shannon Library on 5 December 2024 focused on advancing discussions and exploring ideas for an engagement plan to seek feedback from the wider community.
