Mark Your Calendars: Community Committees' Triennial Meetings
Be a part of your community’s history and join a Community Committee! View the meeting calendar below for the triennial meetings taking place from late January to early March.
Settling into the new 2025-2028 triennium, Community Committees are now appointing their members for the term. Manawatū District Council welcomes and encourages community members to attend their local triennial public meeting and consider what joining a committee could look like for them.
Attending a Community Committee’s public triennial meeting is a great, no-obligation way to meet people involved in the community and nominate yourself for the committee in a role that best suits your interests. This could be as a member or in a leadership position such as Chairperson, Secretary, or Treasurer (if applicable).
Questions? Please email the Community Committee using the addresses provided below.
