Street Days, Appeals and Raffles

If you want to raise funds or collect money on the street for a charity, you need to apply for permission from Council.

You can apply online by using the form below or by emailing health@swdc.govt.nz. There is no fee for this application.

We will check our calendar to see if the proposed date, time and place is available. If we already have a booking, we’ll talk to you about other options, noting that preference is given to South Wairarapa District organisations.
