Grey District Council
Local democracy

Commit to having less closed meetings and workshops because the public need to know what's going on behind closed sessions to be transparent.
Commit to far better engagement with Māori because it can be a win-win for us all. Council has a long way to go in this area.

Encourage meaningful consultation on key issues but avoid consultation overload.
Support continued Iwi representationand engagement with Grey District Council.
