(Note: These logos are not available for use after 1 December 2006)

You can show your pride in Wanganui by using the community logo - maybe on your promotional material or team uniforms.

The Council wants to promote wide and appropriate use of the logo in the community and those are just two of the ways it can be used.

The Wanganui Quality Well Worth the Journey slogan was launched in 1997 and the current image was adopted in 2000. The image represents the Whanganui River, hills surrounding Wanganui and the outline of the Sarjeant Gallery roof. It is now widely used by the Council, community clubs and organisations, and appears on a lot of Wanganui promotional material.

The use of the wording "Wanganui Quality Well Worth the Journey" by Wanganui individuals, organisations and businesses is encouraged. The marketing slogan is intended to help identify and unify products, services, lifestyle and features of the Wanganui District. However, the Council reserves the right to decline any use not considered appropriate.

Wanganui printers, signwriters and screenprinters have digital versions of the logo. A specification manual is available and all users are requested to adopt the standards in the manual wherever possible to ensure that the presentation of the image remains consistent and represents quality.

The logo is available in colour or black and white and in a variety of formats. The word "Quality" is optional and can be replaced to meet the needs of the individual, business or organisation using the logo. The wording variations available are:

Education, Historic River City, Lifestyle, New Zealand, Quality, Shopping, Sport, Weekends.

In August 2004 the Council will introduce a service to pick up recyclables from households unable to access the 'SaveMart' drop-off centre in Peat Street.

This service is:

• for households committed to recycling on a monthly basis
• for households who have genuine reasons for being unable to access the drop-off centre in Peat Street i.e. disability, no transport
• to be trialled for six months
• to be carried out within the urban area only

Persons who believe they qualify for this service are invited to make application to the Wanganui District Council. Application forms are available from the Customer Service Group at the Wanganui District Council, phone 349 0001, or can be printed out here (PDF format).

The Wanganui District Council, at its Ordinary meeting on Monday, 21 June 2004, resolved:

To amend the Wanganui District Council Consolidated Bylaw by amending definitions in Part 1 - Administration, and inserting liquor control provisions in Part 20 - Public Places, Parks and Reserves

And to authorise the area (defined on the map) described as all public places including streets, service lanes, lanes and footpaths, carparks, parks and reserves within the area bounded by and including the Wanganui City Bridge, Whanganui Riverbank (along Taupo Quay), Wilson Street, Bassett Street, Nelson Street, Castlecliff Branch Railway Line, London Street, Wicksteed Street, Cameron Terrace, Bell Street and Market Place, be adopted as the 'Liquor Ban Area'.

The bylaw became operative on Wednesday, 23 June 2004.

Copies of the bylaw are available from the Customer Services Desk at the Wanganui District Council Municipal Building, 101 Guyton Street, Wanganui, during normal office hours.
