Welcoming Communities
Te Waharoa ki ngā Hapori
In Ashburton District Council, we think it's important for new people in the district to feel welcomed because it helps our community in many ways. When newcomers feel they belong, it makes our society stronger, brings us closer together, and helps our economy grow. Everyone gets to be a part of everything - working, being involved in the community, and socialising.
By connecting people who are new with those who have been here longer, we make sure everyone feels valued and part of the community. That's why the Ashburton District Council is part of the Welcoming Communities programme.
