Fantastic to see our recently signed Memorandum of Understanding with Lincoln University (NZ) in action yesterday with our Strategy and Policy Team delivering a guest lecture on campus. Their lecture covered our upcoming Area Plans for Waikirikiri Selwyn and challenged the students to work in groups and look at the development of Eastern Selwyn over the next 30 years. This mahi ties in with our long-term strategic approach, Waikirikiri Ki Tua Future Selwyn which we recently had open for consultation with our community.

In celebration of Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu – National Volunteer Week, we want to say thank you to all our volunteers for your efforts in supporting our community. Our Civil Defence Volunteers are just a few of the hundreds of volunteers who do amazing work in our community. In Selwyn, we have over 240 Civil Defence community volunteers split across 30 teams, an Emergency Support Team of 26 volunteers and a Response Team (NZRT21) of 35 volunteers. We talked to four volunteers about why they love what they do.

It has been a fantastic experience participating in the Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA) MEETINGS 24 trade show this week in Rotorua. It was an amazing opportunity to showcase Selwyn's venues for business events to buyers from around New Zealand, Australia and beyond. A special thank you to Business Events Christchurch for hosting us at the stand and great to have won the best regional stand award. #businessevents #businesseventsnz #selwynnz #MEETINGS24
