Purpose | TE PŪTAKE
1. The
purpose of the Community Wellbeing Dashboard is to provide the Committee with a
draft visual dashboard presenting data, analysis and assist in the tracking of
the Community Wellbeing Strategy priority areas.
This matter
relates to Community Connections and Better Wellbeing.
Activate the key
priorities within the Community Wellbeing Strategy.

KŌRERO TŪĀPAPA
2. For
the purposes of this report, the intention of the Community Wellbeing Dashboard
Report is to:
2.1. At
a high level, from a community wellbeing perspective, get a sense of what the
community is currently experiencing.
2.2. Enable
the Committee to actively monitor any trends that may require the Committee to
pivot, realign its focus, enable action and influence change.
2.3. Provide
an opportunity for the Committee to identify future priority discussions and
presentations that the Committee may wish to hear and see to allow for further
action and work planning.
DISCUSSION | HE MATAPAKINGA
3. In
January, the Social Investment Agency – Toi Hau Tangata launched a new
reporting tool called Regional Data Explorer. This tool brings together a wide
range of government data in one place to support decision-makers. There are
also other tools such as Older People’s Data Explorer and Community
Insights Explorer. These tools will be helpful in supporting the development of
the Community Wellbeing Dashboard.
4. The
dashboard is split into the six priority areas for Community Wellbeing and
relate to the priorities outlined within the Community Wellbeing Strategy. The
below points, provide some further commentary in addition to what is provided
on the dashboard itself.
Housing
5. Horowhenua
Housing Register – The data displayed on the dashboard highlights the
number of applications on the Housing Register as at December 2024. The housing
register contains 177 applicants not currently in public housing who have been
assessed as eligible and who are ready to be matched to a suitable property.
Since September (last reported numbers), compared to December 2024 this is a
decrease of 9 applicants.
6. Horowhenua
Emergency Housing Special Needs Grants – the dashboard provides a breakdown
of the number of households in emergency housing at the end of December 2024.
This grant is available to people who cannot remain in their usual place of
residence, if any, and do not have access to other accommodation which is
adequate for them or their family’s needs. Since September (the last
reported figures), the number of grant applicants has significantly decreased
from 57 to 15, resulting in a substantial reduction in total funding
granted—from $95,851 down to $19,475. These changes are largely due to
Ministry of Social Development reviewing and updating the Emergency Housing
Special Needs Grant policy, including revisions to eligibility criteria and the
application process.
Income, Social Welfare
and Beneficiary Support
7. Local
Beneficiary Numbers – Locally, at the end of December 2024, 4,407 people
were receiving a main benefit, an increase of 150 compared to the previous
report in September 2024. This represents a 3.5% rise.
8. Nationally,
at the end of December 2024, 409,665 people were receiving a main benefit, an
increase of 18,441 compared to the September 2024 report. This represents a
4.7% rise.
Education / Youth
Employment
9. Government
Target Delivery Performance – This data is sourced directly from the
Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and was implemented as a result of
the Governments coalition agreement, requiring mandatory reporting from
schools, from Term 1 2025. At the time of preparing this report, the most
recent data is from Term 2, 2024.
10. Horowhenua
Student Attendance - Horowhenua Students finished Term 3 of 2024 with an
increased attendance of 124 students, equating to a 0.5% rise.
11. Nationally,
51.3% of students met the criteria for regular attendance (present more than
90% of the term), an increase of 5.3 points from Term 3 2023.
12. Short-term
illness and medical absences continued to be the main driver of non-attendance,
primarily associated with ongoing incidence of COVID-19 and other seasonal
illnesses.
12.1. In Term 3, 2024, 96.8%
(2,346) of all schools and kura provided useable attendance data. Note that as
of 2025, compulsory attendance reporting is now required.
12.2. Data for Term 4, 2024 is not
yet available.
12.3. School attendance has been
identified as a key priority for the Horowhenua Former Refugee Support
Committee in 2025. The committee will focus on addressing barriers to ensure
children attend school regularly.
12.4. Student wellbeing is a key
priority for the education system. Ministry of Education insight studies show
that attending school and kura regularly is, on average, associated with more
positive wellbeing outcomes. Ministry analysis found that 15-year-old students
who reported skipping a greater number of school days in the previous fortnight
reported worse outcomes on average for a number of wellbeing measures:
schoolwork-related anxiety, sense of belonging, exposure to bullying,
motivation and experiences of teacher unfairness.
12.5. Youth Unemployment NEET
Rate – Horowhenua’s NEET rate which represents the percent of
15-24 year olds not in employment, education or training is 21.1% which is a
2.2% upwards trend and worsening.
12.6. As can
therefore be expected, the number of NEETs within Horowhenua has climbed to 863
which reflects a 14.3% increase and again is an upwards trend and worsening.
12.7. These
figures are comparative to other areas within New Zealand, however the movement
is significant meaning that our NEET rank compared to other areas places us at
61 out of 67 which is downward trend and improving.
Health and Wellbeing
13. Horowhenua
ED Presentations by Admission Status - As requested at the last Community
Wellbeing Committee meeting, Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora has provided
Officers with Palmerston North Hospital Emergency Department (ED) data for the
last 12 months. This data will now be provided on a quarterly basis for the
dashboard.
13.1. On
average, Horowhenua residents accounted for 37% of ED presentations to
Palmerston North Hospital during 2024.
13.2. NZ
European residents accounted for 2,194 admissions, while Māori accounted
for 628 admissions during 2024.
13.3. A
total of 557 admissions during 2024 were from Levin East, followed by 383 from
the Playford Park area, 323 from Levin North and 312 from Foxton.
13.4. 71% of
Horowhenua ED Admissions were for community members aged 55 and over.
Growth and Population
14. Population
by Age Disruption - In the last dashboard (November), a breakdown of
ethnicities within the district was provided. This quarter, we are focusing on
population distribution by age across Horowhenua.
14.1. Levin
has the highest population in the 55-64 age group.
14.2. Foxton
has the highest population in the 60-69 age group.
14.3. Shannon
has the highest population among tamariki aged 5-14 years.
14.4. When
looking at Horowhenua as a whole:
o The 55-59 age group makes up
21.6% of the population.
o The 60-64 age group follows
closely at 21.5%.
o The 10-14 age group represents
21% of the population.
Community Safety
15. Horowhenua
Crime Snapshot - The dashboard data shows a decrease or no change in all
crime categories, except for robbery, which saw a small increase of five
incidents during the reporting period. The crime snapshot does not record
disorderly behaviour, family harm and crashes.
15.1. Number of Police Proceedings
– Violent Crime:
o Q1
2024: Peaked at 20.4, the highest level since Q1 2022.
o Q2
2024: Dropped to 13.3, the lowest recorded level.
o Q3 2024: increased again to

Highlights contributing to the Community Wellbeing
Strategy and Action Plan
29. The
following highlights from across all of Horowhenua District Council business
units have also contributed to the strategies overall community wellbeing
priorities during the last quarter, but not precisely prescribed for in the
Action Plan:
29.1. In December, we were thrilled
to see 45 businesses and schools take part in Pack the Bus alongside Council. A
generous $1,700 monetary donation was used to purchase toys for the bus,
ensuring tamariki had something special to enjoy at Christmas. While the bus
wasn’t as full as last year—reflecting the challenges many are
currently facing—the contributions will still have a meaningful impact on
our chosen charities.
29.2. On 3 December, we celebrated
the International Day for People with Disabilities with an event hosted by
Council and local agencies, bringing together around 200 people. Attendees
enjoyed sports, karaoke, and afternoon tea in a fun and inclusive atmosphere.
The day was a wonderful celebration of diversity and community spirit.
29.3. The Horowhenua Former Refugee
Support Committee brought festive cheer to Jubilee Park with a Christmas Fiesta
and picnic for our former refugee community, Red Cross volunteers, and ESOL
teachers. It was a heartwarming day filled with shared kai, friendship and
laughter, and the joyful smiles of tamariki made the celebration even more
special. Adding to the holiday spirit, December also saw the purchase of
fishing gear through the Sport Manawatū Te Manawa funding. The gear, now
stored at the Red Cross, will be available for refugee families to use,
encouraging healthy recreation and providing opportunities to catch their own
food—a thoughtful way to support wellbeing and connection.
29.4. Shannon Junior Athletics is
back up and running, with the community coming together to offer the
opportunity for whānau. Our Open Spaces Maintenance team line marked the
field and the club reports a good number of children and young people getting
involved.
29.5. Prime Minister Christopher
Luxon was in Levin on 12 December, along with local MP Tim Costley, to open the
second stage of the Hinemoa Street social housing development. The second stage
opened up a further 26 homes for those in need. This development was put
together by Wayne Bishop Group and The Salvation Army.
29.6. Horowhenua
Vibez is back for another year and kicked off on February 12 at Solway Park
with food, games, music and the play trailer in action for Horowhenua young
people. Four more events will take place from February to April.
29.7. The
Let’s Move Together Triathlon series is back again for another year,
taking place in Shannon, Levin and Foxton. Tamariki aged between 3 to 11+ will
run, cycle and swim their way to the finish cheered on by their Whānau
from the sidelines. This kaupapa could not be achieved without the $14k
received from Sport Manawatū’s Tū Manawa fund.
29.8. The
Farm Track shared pathway was officially opened on 1 February. The 4 km return
pathway, which takes approximately one hour to complete, was created through
the dedication of volunteers in partnership with Horowhenua District Council
and provides a space for everyone to enjoy. The pathway is part of a
three-stage project that will eventually extend the walking track over the
Arawhata Stream to the Levin Golf Course.
