I'm interested... so what's next?
- The first step is to get a group of like minded residents together. Start talking to your neighbours about what might be possible.
- Fill in the nomination pack (be as creative, imaginative and honest as you possibly can).
- Fill it with drawings, sketches, photos, maps, comments, ideas, images etc.
- Send it back to the Council (New Plymouth District Council, Private Bag 2025, New Plymouth) or drop it into the Civic Centre by 29 April.
- Wait for us to contact you:
