What’s this all about? • How much are we talking?
We’ve received $270 000 from Waka Kotahi and $30 000 from Waikato District Council. We believe this amount will enable 2 small or moderate-sized place-making efforts in downtown Raglan.
• What areas are we looking at?
• Are the changes permanent?
No. Installing these changes by summer will enable the community to experience them and provide feedback, which could lead to the designs being modified and improved, or if needed reverted back to their current state.

Wainui Road
All going well, we are aiming to have these changes installed by early summer (November), so that we and our visitors can directly experience these places.

• What’s the time frame?
Bow St
Wi Nee
We believe there are some great outcomes on offer for our town by focusing on Bow St and (separately or linked) the car park and pedestrian access to the harbour outside Orca.
• What are the limitations?
There are many ideas within the community on how to improve our town. This project will not be able to deliver on them all. We are constrained by the purpose and amount of the funding, which we wish to put towards the best possible return for the community.
• What’s the process?
You’re in it! We are using this drop-in session and a further, facilitated workshop later in August to ask for community input and shaping of the intentions of this project. The project team, led by the Raglan Community Board, will finalise the designs after these workshops, considering what we’ve heard and the best ideas to emerge!
