Whenever you see this logo, you will know the information is about disability matters in Napier that Council is working on.
The logo draws inspiration from the existing Napier City Council logo, using the waves/water pattern to depict fingerprints. Everyone’s fingerprints are unique, so too are people’s needs and obstacles. No one person, challenge or ability are the same and we recognise and respect that. You can read the full Napier Disability Strategy here.
