register for Residents2010

Hon. Peter Dunne, M.P.

The conference is being held at Parliament Buildings at the invitation of the M.P. for Ohariu, the Honourable Peter Dunne.  Peter has long been on record as a committed supporter of community and community groups, the voluntary sector, and the often unheralded efforts of those who work to make communities a better place.

Each year Peter holds the Northern Community Awards - a special night where volunteers who work throughout his electorate can be recognised for their efforts.  Peter also chairs the Northern Wellington Festival Committee, and is often seen at community meetings and events in the area.

Residents.org.nz

 Residents.org.nz is a national database of residents' associations in New Zealand.  The database was set up by Jarrod Coburn, Jim Candiliotis, and Dr David Mason in 2009 as a resource for communities.

 The database has over 1,000 entries listed to date, many sourced from Councils and the register of incorporated societies.

 There is no fee for groups to list online as funding for the site has been sourced from community groups.

 This is the first such consolidated database for residents' associations and will prove to be a valuable tool for communities, researchers, and government agencies in the future.

Council Watch

 Council Watch's mission is to undertake timely, relevant, and robust research on local government, provide checks and balances to local government in New Zealand, and make it easier for residents to have their voices heard. Despite the obvious benefits to disaffected or disadvantaged people, this site is much more than just a way to "keep Councils honest".

 There is very little known about the mechanics of local government in this country, so Council Watch serves as a clearing house for community-based research and trends. The site also has special sealed sections specifically for residents' groups and for journalists, to promote collegiality and oneness amongst these bastions of social justice.

The website is funded through the Draco Foundation.

Federation of Wellington Progressive and Residents Associations

The Federation of Wellington Progressive and Residents' Associations (FWPRA) is an incorporated society who's members comprise the 42 residents' associations of Wellington City.  The organisation exists to provide support for its members, and a forum for local associations and related groups to meet and discuss topics of interest.

Executives of the group meet on a regular basis with Wellington City Council

officers to discuss matters of policy, procedure, and principle affecting residents' associations in the city.

FWPRA meets on the last Tuesday of every month (except January) at the Wellington City Council committee room at 7.30 PM.  Contact the secretary Tom Law on (021) 791 337 or email fwpra@residents.org.nz for further information.
