Gore District Council

Gore Ward
The Gore District Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 11 councillors and the mayor. Five councillors will be elected from the Gore ward. The other councillors will be elected from other wards or by all voters in the district. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Gore District Council election.

Transport

Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

  • Work with Government to provide a cycle trail from Gore to Mataura and Gore to Mandeville. Look for alternative mountain bike trails.

    Review bridge weight restrictions and bring them up to standards that heavy trucks can utilise providing better and faster access.

    Research more NZTA funding to upgrade rural roads and urban footpaths.
