About Raglan Naturally
The project was originally facilitated by the Raglan Naturally Committee, a sub-committee of the Raglan community board, with support from Tangata Whenua, Waikato District Council and other key stakeholders.
From 2017-2020 Raglan Naturally’s focus on was on building relationships, understanding what we value, aligning aspirations, and setting a foundation for the way we work together with iwi and hapū and the community. Through a combined effort, from a diverse team of volunteers, we revitalised our community plan.
Building on the goals of the community plan review, in 2020 Raglan Naturally evolved into a community organisation. The Raglan Naturally Trust Board was established, in co-governance with local Iwi and hapū, to support the implementation of the community plan and continue community-led development in Whāingaroa.
Our actions for the next 2 years are to support projects and aspirations of the community and hapū, and grow community capability and connections through training, workshops and events.
A key partnership for Raglan Naturally is the Department of Internal Affairs, through their Community-Led Development Programme.
