Dargaville Community Development Board Inc
Community Engagement - Promoting Revitalisation and Growth
Dargaville Community Development Board (DCDB) supports, facilitates and empowers business and community organisations throughout the district, to grow a robust and attractive environment, one in which residents and visitors alike can thrive.
Established October 2015, the DCDB Board is a diverse group of business and community members who have experience and skills in enterprises that include; hospitality, media and promotions, property development and small to medium business development. Our board members and staff are community members bringing their extensive networks and resources to contribute to and connect with individuals and groups to develop and promote DCDB.
It is intended that initial focus will be on using a project management approach to develop resources, databases for community and business use and specific projects intended to contribute to and develop the economy and community spirit within the district.
The Board has an ongoing contract with Kaipara District Council (KDC) for the property management of their Community Housing Units. This allows us to employ staff to progress the board's initiatives. Further commercial contracts and opportunities to secure funding are being sought to assist the board in continued growth and delivery of community support.
We have identified a number of groups who are established in Dargaville; Kauri Coast Promotions Society, Dargaville Business Forum, Dargaville Arts Association and Kaipara Grey Power. The DCDB will work closely with these groups and others to ensure that resources and services are utilised and facilitated to the maximum benefit of the community.
