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.

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.

  • Advocate for central government to pause the very controversial Three Waters "reforms".

  • There are so many places in Eastern Ward needing sprucing up as they look like they have been neglected for years and are in need of something.

    I don't agree with Three Waters. We are quite capable of coming up with solutions ourselves as we have always done, given available finances

    It's hoped we can come up with a better and more cost-effective way of handling our rubbish and recycling then they are currently doing.
