As we embark on shaping Buller’s next 10-year plan with our community, we asked the community what Buller District Council should focus on in the coming years.
Shaping our next 10-year plan is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that our actions and projects align with what's most important to our community. In order to understand what matters most to you, we are carried out a short survey. The feedback will help us understand where we should focus our efforts on in the future.
The survey took approximately five minutes to complete. Participation was voluntary; all questions were optional, and participants could exit the survey at anytime. The survey closed on Monday 26 October 2026 at 4:30 pm.
Giving feedback is one of the most powerful ways communities in New Zealand can shape local government decision-making.
