The 2009 Methven Community Strategic Plan is now available for public consultation. Ashburton District Council want to hear from Methven residents to ensure that the plan captures your vision for Methven over the next ten years!

The first Methven Community Strategic Plan was developed in 1997 by the Methven community in a process facilitated by Ashburton District Council. The plan has been the catalyst for much change in Methven and has, by any standards, been a resounding success.

The 2009 Methven Community Strategic Plan builds on the success of the previous plan. Most of the actions from the original plan have been achieved – so the new plan provides ways to take that next leap to continue to develop Methven as a great place to live and visit.

A series of workshops were held with the Methven community to develop the strategic plan. These workshops helped to confirm the goals Methven has for the future and the specific actions of how Methven will get there.

Ashburton District Council invite you to give them feedback on the draft Methven Community Strategic Plan. The feedback can cover any aspect relating to the plan and you can write it however you like. They have provided some specific questions in the submission form on the right hand side of this page if you would like to respond to these, or if you would prefer, you can write your own submission by attaching additional pages to the cover sheet provided.

They are also looking for any great photos or images you may have of life in Methven that could be included in the final plan. Please let them know if you do have images that could be used.

Submissions close at 5pm on Friday 7th August at the Ashburton District Council offices.
