Meremere local area blueprint

The top priority initiatives for Meremere include:

• Develop youth engagement initiatives to address the issue of youth leaving school early.
• Celebrate the Redoubt, linking it to a wider Maori heritage experience. Add some associated commercial zoning.
• Provide support to beautification initiatives, assisting with community pride in the place. Consider streetscape, entrance signs, house numbers etc.
• Provide more recreational opportunities and facilities for children.
• Moved to district-wide, but still top: build a strong identity, identify if, how much, and where, possible additional employment land for retail development is needed beyond the zoning in the Proposed District Plan.
