From Friday, Timaru is celebrating Welcoming Week as part of its work to become a welcoming community for everyone that comes here.

This time we spoke to Connected Communities Coordinator, Jess Hurst, about organising our local celebrations, and the benefits of encouraging a welcoming and diverse community.

This is the first in a series of podcasts where we sit down with the people representing you at the council table.

This time we speak to first term Councillor Michelle Pye, find more about her and talk about her priorities for the term ahead.

We've just opened the further submissions part of our Proposed District Plan review, so thought it was a good time to talk to our District Planning Manager, Hamish Barrell about what the District Plan is, and how does it shape our community? How and if you can take part in this current submission, what the aspirations for the plan are and with the much covered reforms to the Resource Management Act coming down the line, has all this work gone to waste?

We've spoken to the museum director about how they are going to fill the new museum, but how do you go about building the centre it's going to go in, and how do you integrate that with a 100 year old theatre?

This week we speak to project lead Nicole Timney on what's going on behind the scenes on this ambitious project.
