Gladstone businessman Greg Lang is inviting residents to an "invigorating experience" on Monday which will look at revitalising Carterton's central business district.
"There seems to be an overriding passion in Carterton at the moment to see the district prosper," Mr Lang said.
"Groups across the spectrum within the district are working together to ensure that the district has a prosperous and vibrant future without losing our fantastic sense of community.
"These groups have committed funds and employed placemaker David Engwicht from Creative Communities International for 12 months.
"He has a incredible track record in turning the obvious into the unbelievable."
