Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) today joins an
initiative to welcome new residents settling in the
district.
The Council has been selected by Immigration
New Zealand, the Human Rights Commission, and the Office of
Ethnic Communities to participate in Welcoming Communities
Te Waharoa ki ngā Hapori, a project to support newcomers to
feel welcomed and able to participate in the economic,
civic, cultural and social life of their new
community.
The initiative will be rolled out over
three years and builds on a pilot programme by Immigration
New Zealand across five regions in New Zealand from 2017 to
