Submissions: Have your say for a healthy greater Christchurch
Waka Toa Ora provides a way to share submission opportunities across our networks. Submissions are an effective way for communities to have their voice heard when local and central government are considering proposals which affect where we live, work and play.
Below are a number of consultations which are now open for comment. This list is not exhaustive, as there are many government and other agencies which consult on a regular basis. New items added since last week have been highlighted in bold.
Please contact Te Mana Ora Submissions Coordinators if you become aware of other consultations that would be of interest to Waka Toa Ora signatories (submissions[at]cdhb.health.nz). It can then be included in the next bulletin.
