Tararua District Council draft long term plan key dates:
* March councillors will adopt the plan.
* April 9 document released for public consultation.
* Submissions can be made until May 11.
In August last year the Tararua District Council began its community conversations about the future of our district.
"We talked about what we love about Tararua, the challenges our communities are facing and the opportunities," Tararua District mayor Tracey Collis said.
And with the population of Tararua increasing after 20 years of decline, and it's even more important our district has a robust plan for the future, Mrs Collis said on Wednesday at a lunchtime presentation of the draft long term consultation document.
"In Eketahuna, you can't buy a house, when one comes on to the market, it's sold," she said.
