New Plymouth District Council

Profile of Taranaki Safe Families Collaborative member: New Plymouth District Council

New Plymouth District Council (www.newplymouthnz.com) is tasked under the Local Government Act 2002 to deliver social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being for the current and foreseeable needs of its district’s residents. New Plymouth District includes the city of New Plymouth, the towns of Waitara, Inglewood, Urenui, Okato, Bell Block and Oakura, and many other smaller rural communities.

The Council’s Community Development Team works with people and groups to develop skills, knowledge and experience and empower them to undertake initiatives which address social problems within their community.  To help achieve a safe and secure community – including becoming a society without the burden of family violence – NPDC:

  • Works with government and non-government agencies to develop solutions that achieve real and measurable outcomes.
  • Promotes the accurate identification of local crime problems and community safety priorities.
  • Supports evidence-based community safety and crime reduction activity.

 

NPDC also undertakes the accreditation process, in partnership with key stakeholders, to enable New Plymouth District to be designated as an International Safe Community according to criteria defined by the World Health Organisation.
