Draft Napier Rangatahi Strategy 2027–2032

Napier City Council seeks feedback on its draft Rangatahi Strategy, covering wellbeing, learning and work, youth participation, transport and access, and places and activities for young people.

The draft strategy would guide how Napier City Council works with young people, whānau, partners and the wider community from 2027 to 2032.

Its five focus areas are Wellbeing and Belonging; Learning, Work and Skills; Youth Voice and Participation; Getting Around and Access; and Creativity, Connection and Things To Do.

The council developed the draft using earlier input from young people and community partners. It now asks whether the priorities reflect those needs and whether anything important is missing.

Alternatively, download the submission form and post it to Napier Rangatahi Strategy, Napier City Council, Private Bag 6010, Napier 4142, or drop it at the Customer Service Centre, 215 Hastings Street, Napier.

Feedback is welcome until Thursday 5 November 2026. No closing time is stated.

The strategy would guide council work with young people and partners over the coming years.

Feedback can shape which priorities the council includes before it finalises the strategy.
