PROGRAMS IN PROGRESS
Community Audits Is your Council or
Community Board playing the game or bending the rules to suit special interest
groups? Are you being denied equitable opportunities to participate in planning
and development matters that affect you? Stand
up for your rights. Learn proven methods for undertaking community audits to
professional protocols. Communicate the results effectively through community
programs. This project teaches you how to apply professional methods for compliance
auditing of Council programs.
Sustainable Communities Are you seeking year
round livelihoods for your community? Do you want to avoid community dependency
on low paying seasonal work doing menial tasks? Learn from the success of
Twizel in reinventing community economies through capacity building for
sustainable development. Only 20 years ago Twizel was a redundant town. It is
now a successful and growing regional service town with full employment
throughout the year.
Riparian Weed Control The declining health
of our rivers and streams and the increase in weed floras are directly related.
Weeds are characteristic symptoms of dysfunctional floodplains and unhealthy waterways.
Help restore the health of our streams, rivers and lakes. Learn ecological weed
control methods proven over 50 years in New Zealand that restore the health of
streams and rivers naturally for little cost, without poisonous pesticides,
pastoral grazing or polluting effluents.
