Far North District Council
Utilities and services
Councils are responsible for a wide range of utilities and services that we all rely on, from rubbish and recycling to street cleaning. Councils are currently also responsible for managing waste water, storm water and drinking water infrastructure – the ‘Three Waters’. But that may be about to change, with central government seeking to shift the delivery of Three Waters services to four new larger entities, which could borrow enough to upgrade the country’s water infrastructure.

Stop Three Waters, with its higher costs, unnecessary bureaucracy, no local control and the undemocratic way it has been enforced on us all.
Reallocate the generous central government funding planned for Three Waters to the Far North District Council to allow proper management of it with existing infrastructure.
Maximise recycling and improve the management of park areas spoiled by fly-tipping of rubbish; clear it away and police its recurrence.
