Introducing the DigitalSpaces Trailer

29 October 2024

We’re excited to announce the Tararua DigitalSpaces Trailer – a purpose-built mobile hub that brings essential Council services right to where they’re needed!

What’s it for? This versatile trailer can:

Serve as a mobile civil defence base to support communities during emergencies and recovery efforts.

Enable community engagement by taking Council services to local events, markets, and celebrations, especially in rural areas.

Made possible by generous support! Thanks to funding from the Department of Internal Affairs Lotteries Minister’s Discretionary Fund and an expanded DigitalSpaces contract with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, we’ve brought this project to life without using ratepayer money.

What’s inside?

* Solar-powered, with the ability to operate off-grid

* Rural WiFi, sound system & multiple screens

* Internal meeting room & cooking facilities

* And more!
