Elected Members were treated to a tour of Te Āhuru Mōwai, the facility which will house the Manawatū Community Hub Libraries. The building is set to open with regular operating hours on Monday 22 July.
Thanks to Allan Muntz and his years of research, dedication and fact checking now the known veterans buried within Manawatū District Council cemeteries have a record which includes their photo and history from birth to marriage.
Check out what Council Services and Facilities will be available over Anzac Day.

The Rongotea Cenotaph has had an additional plaque with the names of the fallen added to the base to ensure the names can be honoured and read in years to come. This project was all started by 94-year-old Prudence Amey-Riddle (Prue), a lifelong Rongotea resident and supported by Tracy Sharples MDC Parks and Property Administration Support Officer.
Over the next month, work will be underway to build and install a playground complete with a slide, swings, springer, and seesaw at Victoria Park.
