Community Board Vision, Mission and Priorities

Vision

“To strengthen, support and uphold the wellbeing, prosperity, economic recovery and resilience of Te Hiku O Te Ika.”

Mission

“To engage at all levels with our communities to ensure that the development and provision of facilities and services, are fit for purpose, aesthetically pleasing and sustainable and follow a transparent, fair and safe process that meets the needs of the Te Hiku Ward”

Priorities

The community board may recommend local service levels and asset development priorities for civic amenities as part of the annual plan and long term plan processes conducted by Far North District Council. The strategic plan sets out these recommendations. The Board’s strategy for 2020/2024 and beyond will be to link development in communities of interest to the Te Hiku o Te Ika Open Spaces Revitalisation Master Plan that was adopted by the Board at its meeting of 25 August 2020 and other documents which may include new and existing Community and local development plans, the Northland Walking and Cycling Strategy, NZTA Awanui township plan and other relevant documents. Plans will acknowledge the natural environment, community, culture, built environment and economy as well as economic recovery and community resilience.

Te Hiku Community Board recommends that the Placemaking Budget be implemented to a level that services the community for the 2021-2024 Long Term Plan.
