Growing a great region where young people thrive
Wairarapa District Councils [Carterton, Masterton, and South Wairarapa] recognise the importance of having rangatahi (youth – 12–24-year-olds) voices contributing to council decision-making, and want to reflect this commitment through the review of the current Wairarapa Rangatahi Strategy.
The review will deliver a revised strategy and new action plan.
It is important that rangatahi are at the centre of this project and help drive and shape the strategy and action plan for the councils. If you are interested in knowing more, sign up to receive updates below.

We have developed a couple of ways for our rangatahi to be involved. These include workshops and a rangatahi (youth) focus group.
This review provides an opportunity for rangatahi to:
- assist and advise the three Wairarapa District Councils on how to help grow a great region where young people thrive
- help the three Wairarapa District Councils identify key barriers and issues for youth in our region
- connect with decision makers to make sure they know the youth perspective and how best to work alongside youth
- help the three Wairarapa District Councils prioritise what they should do for youth.
