My Tauranga Vibe launches today. It’s how locals can find out what their Tauranga vibe is, and share it with their friends, whanau and, with Council.
Throughout the Long-Term Plan process Commissioners kept hearing from locals, some who’d done a lot of work with Council over the last few years, that we need to develop a vision for the city.
‘Tauranga Moana has grown dramatically, submitters made the point that it’s hard to do a 10-year plan if you don’t know overall what you want your city to be’, says Commission Chair Anne Tolley.
Council has used all the work done over the last few years – stakeholder engagement, workshops, round tables, and developed this final stage in the process – for locals to have their say in developing a city vision for Tauranga Moana.
‘We’ve made it as innovative and creative as possible – to give people who might not usually engage with Council a voice, so we can hear it, says Chief Commissioner Anne Tolley.
‘It aims to get down to what people value, which will help us making decisions and deciding on trade-offs, both now and in the future. We want to better understand what locals’ value, for themselves, their whanau, communities and our city’, says Anne.
At My Tauranga Vibe people take short quiz to find out their own Tauranga Vibe. They’ll be able to see their results, share them, and in the process tell Council what they value for the future of our city.
This information will be used to create a city vision for Tauranga Moana – so it’s really important that as many people as possible get involved in shaping the aspirations of our city.
The site is live for three weeks from Monday 8th to Monday 29th November – so share you wants, feels, needs, and reckons at My Tauranga Vibe as soon as possible.
