New communities and councils join the Welcoming Communities programme
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) is announcing new members to the Welcoming Communities programme.
Three new Councils and regions are joining the programme designed to create inclusive environments where all residents can thrive and belong.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council, the Central Otago District Council, and the Rangitīkei District Council are the new additions to the programme. Their involvement follows the Hamilton City Council, the Horowhenua District Council, and the Masterton District Council joining the initiative earlier this year.
It means there are now 15 Councils and 11 regions across New Zealand that are part of Welcoming Communities.
