Western Bay of Plenty Neighbourhood Support is bringing community leaders together this month to help build resilience through neighbourhood groups.
It has organised a Zoom gathering of its coordinators and a variety of community stakeholders on March 16 to discuss what actions communities want in their neighbourhoods.
Invitations have been sent to Police, Community Patrols, Victim Support, Age Concern, Community Advisory Bureau, Māori leaders, Tauranga City Council staff, Emergency Management, Family Violence responders and its own street and area coordinators.
Western Bay of Plenty Neighbourhood Support Chair Kathy Webb said key questions to be discussed included what people think is important in their neighbourhoods.
“How can we change and preserve our neighbourhoods and what would we like to see in our neighbourhoods? We’d like to know what people think about where they live so we can offer the right sort of help,” she said.
Neighbourhood Support works to make homes, streets, neighbourhoods and communities safer and more caring places.
The Zoom conference is on March 16 at 4.30pm, and those who would like to participate can contact info@wbopns.org.nz for a link to join.
