Make It Matamata‑Piako

Help shape the future of our district

We’re refreshing our Community Outcomes — and we want your help to make sure they’re meaningful, focused, and grounded in what really matters to our communities.

What kind of place do you want this to be?

Think 3, 5 or 10 years from now.
If Matamata‑Piako was exactly the kind of place you wanted to live in, what would it feel like? What would matter most?

That’s the thinking behind our Community Outcomes.
They set the long‑term direction for our district and guide the decisions that shape everyday life here. They also feed directly into the Long Term Plan — our 10‑year roadmap for what we focus on, what we fund, and what we deliver.

We’re building on what you’ve already told us

We’ve taken past community feedback and shaped it into themes.
Now we want to check:

  • What we’ve got right
  • What might be missing
  • What might need a rethink

Why your voice matters

Your input helps turn broad outcomes into clear priorities, from everyday basics like footpaths and facilities to the bigger decisions about where we invest for the future.

Join us at a drop‑in session

No need to stay the whole time — just drop in anytime between 4pm and 7pm.
15–30 minutes is plenty to contribute.
