Mayor of Dunedin
Environment
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 am absolutely opposed to the Three Waters and I consider it corporate theft. Councils need to maintain control of these assets.
NZ imports ~70% of its food and beverages. This is where most of the waste is. To minimise this we need to encourage local food production.
Support the Dunedin City Council waste minimisation plan, over and above the provision of waste management and minimisation facilities and services.
Support the Halo Project pest programmes, to further protect places of significance like the Orokonui Ecosanctuary.
Adopt the Kai Tahu ki te Otago natural management plan to holistically manage biodiversity from the mountains to the sea.
Protect our infrastructure from being taken out of local control.
Enhance water quality options for areas of our city that are not on reticulated supply.
Engage more with Forest and Bird and other groups to support the work they do.
Dunedin has a reputation for being the wildlife capital of NZ. Our actions need to be sustainable to protect it for future generations.
Clean drinking water is something every resident in our city should expect and receive. We need to continue to upgrade our infrastructure.
Waste is a major issue for all cities. I think we need to look for innovative solutions to create business opportunities from this problem.
Continue to support the Predator Free 2050 project.
Drive waste minimisation by resourcing community scale waste diversion opportunities, to sit alongside the new kerbside recycling service.
Build more green spaces into our urban environments.
