Two public forums being held in Arrowtown this week aim to develop a 30 year vision for the village.
Shaping Our Future chairman David Kennedy said the forums, at the Athenaeum Hall, would be held in a ''world cafe'' style. Groups would work together around tables, bringing the community together to develop a set of high level outcomes and key priority issues.
There were things needing to be addressed in the short to medium term, but residents would also be involved in discussing what the village would look like in the long term.
''By addressing these issues now, the community can collectively work towards a common goal for future generations. This is an opportunity for residents, landowners, local workers and visitors to sit down and discuss a road map to the future for the area.
''By bringing everyone together using the Shaping Our Future process we can create a shared vision the community can work towards for their children, grandchildren, future visitors and residents,'' he said.
Forums are tomorrow and Thursday, from 6pm.
