Overview
Waipā District Council were awarded the PRINZ Supreme award in May 2022 for their What’s next Waipā? campaign. The campaign embarked on 17 months of targeted, innovative community relations work, inspiring local Waipā residents to share their wants and needs for the district and engage in the development of Council’s 2021-2031 Long Term Plan. The campaign also won Gold in the Community Relations and Engagement category. Supported by a strategy that put listening ahead of speaking, and implemented through a range of inventive communications and engagements techniques, the team delivered results not only for the Council, but for the Waipā community.
