Frequently Asked Questions

Good question! Also known as a ‘Long Term Plan’, it’s the roadmap for the district’s next 10 years. The plan says what Manawatū District Council will achieve over the next decade, and how it will all get paid for.

In several different ways. We’d really love you to use this platform right here to have your say. It’s easy and maybe a little bit fun. You can also fill in a printed version (hard copy) of the form by picking one up at the council reception, the Makino Aquatic Centre, the Feilding Library or the Feilding Information Centre. We could also post you one if you prefer. Please call on 06 323 0000 to ask for this.

Absolutely not!  We’d love to hear from everyone who has something to say.
