Community Support and Resources

Community awards

Community awards recognise the valuable contribution that members of the community make towards to making Westland a great place to live, work and play.

If you know of someone who deserves to be recognised with a community award, contact your local ward Councillor to nominate them.

Funding can also be sourced from a number of groups including West Coast Community Trust, Creative New Zealand Grant, Rural Communities Trust, and more.
