More than 300 people had their say in our first Bay Say Survey in June. Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas online or at community markets and sports events around the rohe.

We’re working our way through entering all your responses. Later this month, we’ll share back the survey results here and also announce the spot prize winners. These insights will help us to encourage more people to take part in upcoming local elections, as well as better understand community views on the work of Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Regional Council.

This was the first survey in a series that we’re planning run three times a year. If you have any feedback for us on the survey itself, please email participate@boprc.govt.nz. The next survey will be out in October with a focus on another focus topic. Click the 'Follow' button on the Bay Say page to hear about it first.
