New Settlers

Nau mai, haere mai, welcome to this section for 'New Settlers" which has been developed with the assistance of 'Settlement Support New Plymouth'

Being new to a community and having to adjust from one's own to a new culture just makes life that much more difficult - or perhaps challenging.

Almost everyone in Taranaki realises that diversity of cultures is a great thing. Taranaki celebrates and hosts a huge range of international events such as WOMAD and the Taranaki Multi Ethnic Extravaganza.

In addition, we know that we in Taranaki need the skills, expertise and experience of so many people to maintain many of our industries.
