What matters most to our district survey

As we embark on shaping Buller’s next 10-year plan with our community, we would like to hear your thoughts on 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 carrying out a short survey. Your feedback will help us understand where we should focus our efforts in the future.

The survey will take approximately five minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary; all questions are optional, and you can exit the survey at any time. The survey closes 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.
