Napier Neighbourhood Support

A well-connected community helps to improve the safety, resilience, and well-being of all residents. When you join a Neighbourhood Support Group you will:

  • Have a great way to get to know the people that live around you
  • Receive emails and alerts that will keep you up to date with news from our community partners, including New Zealand Police, Fire and Emergency NZ, and Civil Defence Emergency Management
  • Gain tips and resources, such as street signs and letterbox/window stickers, to improve your household and neighbourhood safety and deter crime
  • Learn how you can be better prepared for emergencies.

By working together, we can support each other, solve local issues and make our neighbourhoods safer and more welcoming. Best of all, it’s FREE to join!
