Newtown Residents' Association Monthly Meeting
Monday 16th November 2020
7.30-9pm at Newtown Hall, 71 Daniell St
This month we welcome members of the Wellington City Council Engagement and Consultation Team, who have two topics to discuss with us:
Innovating Streets
WCC has funding from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to co-design a "Placemaking Parklets" pilot with the Newtown community. The aim is the creation of people friendly spaces in our neighbourhoods. They had a pop-up space in Riddiford St on Saturday - see below!
The WCC Long Term Plan
a note from Diane Livingston and Clare Lundon, Engagement and Consultation Advisors coming to the meeting-
"Every three years Council reviews the city’s Long-term Plan. This sets the direction for the next 10 years, outlines priorities, how much it all costs, and where the money might come from.
As we draft this year’s Long-term Plan we have some extra demands to think about, including big infrastructure costs, earthquake strengthening, and the Central Library work. That means we are going to have to make some choices.
We’d really like your help. We have a short priority sorting activity that we are doing with communities and we’re inviting you to do this."
This seems like an excellent opportunity to have some early input into the big decisions that WCC are going to have to make in the coming years - do come and get involved!

All welcome - come and join in the discussion!
