We have prepared a 2006 - 2016 Long Term Council / Community Plan as required by the Local Government Act 2002.  We have named our Plan the Central Hawke's Bay Community Plan.  It sets the direction for Central Hawke's Bay over the next ten years. 

The Community Voluntary Organisation Support Fund (CVOS) has $20,000 to allocate each year to community based organisations in the Central Hawke's Bay District.

Creative Communities Scheme is a fund, the purpose of which is to increase participation in the arts at the local level, and to increase the range and diversity of arts available to communities.

The Rural Travel Fund is a partnership between SPARC and local authorities to assist the development of junior sport in rural communities by providing a travel subsidy.

Tourism and Economic Development in Central Otago

Community planning is about the local community determining its future.  Emphasis has been placed on the community views, on its local points of difference and getting opportunities that will ensure the community remains an attractive and desirable place in which to live, work and play.

Council has endorsed a destination management approach for Central Otago.  Destination management is essentially about communities and cross agency co-operation in areas of planning and environmental management, provision of visitor information centres, management of infrastructure, marketing and site management. 

Grants Policy for Community Grants, Cultural Grants, Heritage Grants, Events Grants, Discretionary Grants, Creative Communities Grants and SPARC Grants.

When Council sought the community's aspirations for the district and the priorities of actions over the next 10 years back in 2003, one of the concerns raised was the need to protect heritage sites from inappropriate development and population pressure.

The community's preferred outcome was to see heritage valued and celebrated and to be an integral part of Central's identity.

Long Term Council Community Plan

Central Otago - A World of Difference is our brand. It provides a definition of the character of Central Otago and its people.  It creates a vision for the way that we want to live, work and play, here, now and into the future. It provides the glue to bind our district together. We all can be proud to own it.
