Our Welcoming Communities Advisory Groups

The two Welcoming Communities Advisory Groups, representing Whakatipu and Upper Clutha, concluded their work in November 2023. They met once a month on a voluntary basis and provided leadership and advice on the development of the Welcoming Plan 2024-2027 and the delivery of our programme of activities.

The members of both Advisory Groups were made up of a diverse mix of passionate people living across the Queenstown Lakes District community.

A big thank you for their time and commitment. We very much appreciate the energy and sharing of knowledge that goes into a volunteer role to represent wider community interests and values.
