ground teams do outreach mahi as communities rebuild
The original “due date” for the 2023 census collection has well since passed but in Hawke’s Bay, the mammoth project has only just begun for Stats NZ ground teams.
Until early June, a locally led taskforce will be out in the community making contact with those who have not yet filled in their forms.
But some areas will require a more careful approach than others, and staff say they are exercising humility and respect as they travel to some of the hardest-hit areas.
Gill Scarlett, one of the team leaders for Napier, met with some of her collectors at the Willowbank retirement village in Napier on Friday, where many residents welcomed the group with open arms.
