Whanganui District Council will soon release its draft heritage strategy for the district for public input.
The council's heritage advisor Scott Flutey said the strong response to his heritage survey late last year guided the development of the draft 10-year strategy.
"We were thrilled with how the community engaged with the heritage survey and we're looking forward to hearing people's input again as we work towards finalising the strategy.
"We know our community values Whanganui's heritage and we want everyone to have a chance to contribute to the shaping of this document once it goes out for consultation."
The strategy defines the council's heritage goals and sets out a framework for facilitating, encouraging and managing successful historic heritage outcomes.
