Branding survey back: Who are we Te Awamutu?

Te Awamutu Community Board this week approved the branding exercise— Who are we Te Awamutu? — with Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce can proceed.

The plan is to identify where the town is right now before trying to identify where we are going. A survey has been developed that is designed to answer that question by pulling a lot of information and knowledge from locals into a pool of responses.

Helping drive the project is interim Chamber CEO Shane Walsh.

He plans to meet with community groups representing youth, sports organisations, service clubs, the Rose Society, Chamber of Commerce and business, senior groups and iwi over the next couple of months.

“We want everyone to have the opportunity to have a say so we get it right,” he says.

The survey has been supported by Te Awamutu Pak'n Save — everyone who completes the survey is in to win a $500 Gift Card.

To contact the group about opportunities for consultation, or to share views, use the contact information at teawamutuchamber.org.nz or share you views with the Te Awamutu Courier as a Letter to the Editor.
