Grey District Council

Eastern Ward
The Grey 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 eight councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). Two councillors will be elected from the Eastern ward. 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 Grey District Council election.

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.

  • Ensure water supplies to households and business are of good quality.

    Support existing council waste minimisation policies.

  • We need to improve water quality, but the proposed Three Waters is not the best solution for the coast. Local solutions not centralisation.

    No doubt we need to keep on top of biodiversity and pest control and do better than we care currently doing.

    Commit to waste minimisation and management in a cost-effective and productive way. Otherwise it is going to cost us if we ignore that appeal.
