A Busy 2023 Ahead

In December the AVA held a stall at Arrowtown Farmers Market on two occasions. It was great to chat to locals and visitors alike about our village and what’s important to them. We sold calendars on behalf of the Arrowtown Promotion and Business Association (APBA) which sold out quickly, despite an extra print run, so make sure you get in quick next December for Christmas presents and your own kitchen calendar!

Preliminary results for our annual community survey are in which closed on Friday 20th January. The top 5 topics of interest from the 20 presented were; Extension of Arrowtown boundaries with 67% of respondents indicating this as a priority, Heritage preservation (48%), Buckingham St. changes and upgrades (46%), Infrastructure quality (44%) and Wilding pine control and reforestation (40%).

We will be sharing more detail on current activities and the AVA stance on these topics via our Facebook Page in the coming months and throughout the year. There will also be many other subjects of interest to keep our committee busy, including new proposals to introduce fluoride into Arrowtown’s water supply, revegetation strategy for the Arrow River as willows reach end of life, a Mahu Whenua gateway and new bridge proposal over Bush Creek, the continued development of Tewa Banks, Butlers Wall restoration and district wide issues which impact our village. There’s always an opportunity to get involved, have your voice heard and make an impact, so please get in touch to participate or let us know your views.
