Wiri Improvement Programme Project
This project is directed at improving the quality of life for all the residents of the Wiri / Rata Vine area of Manurewa by co-ordinating the work of a number of organisations. The work focuses on:
- Health, Social and Economic Wellbeing;
- Community Safety and Renewal; and
- Built Environment
The Wiri Improvement Programme involves working with the community to develop appropriate services and facilities and supporting residents to create neighbourhoods which they enjoy living in.
Local and central government organisations are joining together with community organisations, contributing resources, knowledge and expertise to raise the general level of welfare in a range of health, education and skills, work and standard of living indicators. The organisations include Housing New Zealand, the Counties Manukau District Health Board, Police, Work and Income, Family and Community Services, Manukau City Council, The Salvation Army and the Sisters of Mercy.
The Wiri Improvement Programme will contribute to a number of Tomorrow’s Manukau community outcome themes, including Educated & Knowledgeable People, Healthy People, Safe Communities and Vibrant & Strong Communities.
