Workshop information

Ōtorohanga District Council is committed to transparency, inclusivity and weaving the future together with our community. In order for our elected members and staff to have constructive conversations on important topics, workshops are held. Most of these are open to the public but on some occasions may be private.

You are welcome to attend open workshops. Please note that no decisions can be made in a workshop. There are chairs available near the front door for members of the public. Any person attending in the public gallery cannot speak and any disruptive behaviour may result in removal.

Workshops are not streamed to YouTube or recorded for uploading purposes. 

Workshops can be closed to the public for reasons such as privacy of a person/s or for commercial sensitivity reasons. Click here to see the relevant legislation. If you disagree with our rationale for a particular workshop being private, please contact the Manager Governance on 027 288 5781 or call the main office on 07 873 4000. If you still disagree with our reason for a private workshop and wish to make a complaint to the Ombudsman, click here for information on how to make a formal complaint. 

Workshops may be rescheduled at short notice e.g., if a staff member calls in sick. Please contact the Manager Governance on 027 288 5781 or call the main office on 07 873 4000 for confirmation on the day of the workshop.
