Runanga Kōtare Domain Redevelopment

Community Collaboration

Community Collaboration

Runanga Village People (RVP), a local community group, are leading the redevelopment of Kōtare Domain with support from Grey District Council. The council provides expertise, compliance input, and approval for the expenditure of funding.

The Runanga Village People (RVP) meet monthly, encouraging community inclusion and regular discussions on community events and projects. The Kōtare Domain Redevelopment is a central focus of these meetings, providing a platform for Grey District staff and broader residents of the Grey District Community to participate and contribute.

RVP, a highly engaged community group, initiated the project and sought assistance and funding from Council. In August 2022, Grey District Council accepted Tranche 1 of The Government’s Better Off Funding, and a portion of this funding ($180,000) was approved for the redevelopment of Kōtare Domain. Since funding was confirmed, local businesses and individuals have also contributed. 

GDC are working closely with RVP and Iwi to develop compliant and easily maintainable objectives for the domain. Plans will be reviewed, workmanship observed, and completed works inspected to ensure they meet required standards, involving suitably qualified individuals where necessary (e.g., engineers, play equipment inspectors, etc.). 

Stage 1: Kōtare Domain Development Zones 4 and 13

The development of Kōtare Domain in Runanga is coming along nicely, with Stage 1 work under way. Darryl and the team from Fairhall Agricultural Services have completed levelling and sculpting the land to improve drainage and prepare for the development of the dog park.
