'The get-together is a great way to find out more about local projects such as the Omokoroa to Tauranga Cycle Trail,” says Community Development committee chairman Steve Morris.

"We'll also have representatives from the Emergency Management Response Unit, as well as staff from our Mobile Library and Customer Service Centre to help you with any queries."

Community Connections is a chance for residents to talk to councillors and council staff, as well as representatives from a great range of community organisations, says Steve.

'We've got another great line-up of representatives from local groups, who will have stands that people can visit to ask questions, get information or simply have a chat,” says Steve.

'The informal setting means that our community members can drop in at any time that suits them, to share their ideas and ask questions.”

Representatives from Neighbourhood Support, Sustainability Options, Age Concern, Matua Residents Association,Lions Club of Otumoetai and Sport Bay of Plenty will also be there on the night.
