TOWNSHIP BOARDS

New Hanover Township benefits greatly from the dedication of its community-based, citizen-led volunteer boards, which play a vital role in local governance. The Shade Tree Commission works tirelessly to preserve, protect, and enhance our township's natural canopy and public green spaces, ensuring a sustainable environment for all residents. Meanwhile, the Joint Land-Use Board meticulously guides thoughtful community development by reviewing land use applications, site plans, and master plan updates to balance growth with the character of our rural municipality. These committed volunteers help shape the future of our town, and residents are always encouraged to get involved or attend their public meetings.

New Hanover Township is always looking for citizens to get involved in our community. If you are interested in joining or starting a board or commission, fill out an application and submit it to the Deputy Clerk at ademarsey@newhanovertwp.com.
