The Hastings District includes a diverse range of communities stretching from Tutira and the Tarawera in the north to the Central Hawke's Bay boundary in the south, encompassing the urban centres of Hastings, Havelock North, Flaxmere and Clive, together with rural, coastal and marae-based communities such as Maraekākaho, Waipatu, Bridge Pā, Te Hāroto, Haumoana, Te Awanga and Waimārama. This mix of urban and rural communities requires a locally tailored approach to community resilience, neighbourhood support, emergency preparedness, and social connection initiatives.
