Help us support Marlborough’s newcomers

Council is asking the Marlborough community to share their thoughts on what should be included in the region’s welcoming plan.

The survey, which is open until 30 April, asks people to share their ideas about activities, resources and events that have the potential to make newcomers feel welcome and create a sense of belonging in Marlborough.

Those who fill in the survey will go into the draw to win one of two shopping vouchers. The survey can be found at: links.marlborough.govt.nz/WS25.

People are also invited to have their say at one of two drop-in sessions:

Te Kahu o Waipuna, Blenheim - Tuesday, 29 April from 4:30pm to 5:30pm

Picton Library - Wednesday, 30 April from 10:30am to 11:30am

The Welcoming Communities - Te Waharoa ki ngā Hapori programme rolls out the welcome mat for all newcomers to the region. It provides a framework for Marlborough to become even more welcoming and attractive to newcomers - a place where people want to come, stay and make their home.
