Stats NZ aims to hold a presentation and discussion that is useful to anyone who has an interest in Census - either working with the community, within government, to share the benefits and insight this data brings to all people in NZ, the importance of participation, and to assist with any questions needed.

Their time in our district will be to give an opportunity for people to engage with the team, and also share feedback.

What are we doing?

Why are we doing it?

Information from the census helps determine how government funding is spent in the community. It is used to help make decisions about which services are needed and where they should be, such as hospitals, kōhanga reo, schools, roads, public transport, and recreational facilities.

We need your help to reach everyone in New Zealand and pass on messages to your communities about why participating in the census matters for them.

  • Key census questions – demystifying why we ask some questions and what they are used for.
