COGS priority setting meetings are to prepare for opening the next funding round. The table below gives the dates, times and addresses of the upcoming COGS Local Distribution Committee (LDC) meetings.
Due to COVID-19 alert level restrictions there will be no public, face-to-face, meetings in the Auckland region. Instead the COGS report and the COGS survey link will be circulated via email.
Due to concerns over the community spread of the COVID-19 virus, please be aware that other public, face-to-face, meetings may be cancelled. These cancellations will be updated in the table below.
If your meeting has been cancelled, the LDCs are still keen for you to provide input on the COGS funding outcomes for 2021. For information on this please contact your local office on 0800 824 824. The link directly below is a list of the Community Operations offices:
