NCC's Love Your Neighbourhood Competition kicked off on Friday 22 March, celebrating Neighbour’s Day in Napier.

The competition is an opportunity for formal and informal neighbourhood groups and clubs to come together to celebrate their unique identity, encourage new connections, enhance their neighbourhood’s environment or respond to a particular need. This could range from organising street barbeques, working bees or setting up a book exchange - to more elaborate projects like art installations or a waterway clean-up. 

We're looking for exciting and innovative projects, something fresh to benefit neighbourhoods or our community.
