An Invitation to Our Business Community

With local body elections just around the corner, we’re inviting you to a special Business Whanganui networking event — your chance to connect directly with the candidates standing for election to Whanganui District Council.

This is your opportunity to share what matters to your business and hear their vision for our district. In a fast-paced, speed-networking style, you’ll have a few minutes with each candidate to ask questions, raise priorities, and exchange ideas on the issues that matter — from economic development, rates, and infrastructure to innovation, resilience, and council decision-making.

This isn’t a debate, and there are no speeches — just relaxed, one-on-one conversations designed to connect business with the people who want to represent you at the Council table.

Whether you’ve got something to say or simply want to listen, this is your chance to be informed, be heard, and be connected.

📌 Please note: This is a private event for Whanganui businesspeople and candidates, hosted by Business Whanganui. We welcome open conversation and diverse perspectives and ask that all participants engage in respectful, constructive dialogue throughout the evening.

Booking essential — spaces are limited.
