Local governments play a central role in protecting the environment, reducing waste and safeguarding biodiversity. The worsening state of New Zealand’s lakes and rivers is a major challenge for local councils, which work with regional councils in the management of water resources in their area.

  • I believe everyone wants a quality water supply, the debate is how we achieve that, and their are alternatives to what this government wants.

    Maintain strong biodiversity and pest control measures particularly at our borders to protect our agriculture and horticulture industries.

    Once again happy to support any policies on waste minimisation and management.

  • Ensure there is no water wastage within the town by educating people on how to do this.

    Implement effective pest control, as it is very important in the community for businesses and homes for health, hygiene, and keeping the town clean.

    Establish education of recycling and how to minimise wastage by doing this will help keep the town clean as well as the environment.
