"Teu le Va" - honour the relationship

Relationships are vital in achieving trust and we are actively cultivating robust connections with a diverse range of stakeholders, including representatives from various sectors, ethnicities, faith groups and more.

We take a strategic approach to community engagement. Our team develops well-thought-out engagement plans that outline our approach, objectives and potential events that require active Pacific community participation.

We are committed to empowering Pacific communities to be active participants in civil society. By providing resources, information and opportunities for involvement, we enable individuals and groups to contribute to the betterment of their communities and society as a whole.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure that the rich diversity of Pacific views is represented in both local and central government strategies. We work tirelessly to advocate for policies and initiatives that positively impact the wellbeing of our Pacific communities in the Bay of Plenty.
