Welcoming Commitment Ceremony October 2023
Channel: Tasman District Council
Date: 2023-10-19

We have reached a milestone in our Welcoming Communities initiative -  with the signing of a ‘Statement of Commitment’ which shows that as a region we are committed to achieving better outcomes for everyone, in particular for newcomers to the area.  

It sets us apart as an intentionally welcoming place where everyone can belong and thrive.  

The Statement was signed by the District’s Mayor Tim King, the Council’s CEO Janine Dowding as well as supportive partners and stakeholders. A ceremony to sign the document was held on Tuesday 17th October at Greenacres Golf Club in Richmond.

 Since Te Waharoa ki ngā Hapori - came to the Tasman region in 2022, we have developed many relationships with community members and organisations who share our values Manaakitanga and Whanaungatanga.  

We also share a vision of better connected and more inclusive local communities. Thanks to the cooperative effort of many supporters, we are now able to move ahead with our vision.
