The Community Voice and Choice Committee provides strategic leadership and oversight of how Waikato District Council strengthens its participatory democracy practices, including increasing community voice, participation, engagement; and emergency resilience.
The Committee ensures that communities are empowered to make decisions where so delegated or be involved earlier in processes where the decision rests with Council. Community empowerment aims to increase local governance and support Council to be prepared to respond effectively to emergencies and disruptions.
