So excited to see this happening for our community! Thanks Waimakariri Access Group and Waimakariri District Council love your work

Core Boards are going to be installed in Victoria Park, Rangiora and Trousselot Park in Kaiapoi. These have just been approved by the two Community Boards and there are plans for a couple of other playgrounds in the Woodend/Pegasus and Oxford area.
Core boards provide essential words and phrases that are frequently used in communication, enabling individuals to express themselves effectively, make choices, and engage in conversations. https://www.waimakariri.govt.nz/council/news-and-information/2025/09/core-boards-add-to-accessible-play
