Hauraki 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.

Retain local decision making ability with regard to three waters assets.
Provide a reliable kerbside collection service, increase rates funded kerbside collection rate, educate and support to reduce rubbish.
Ensure the district receives its fair share of investment in its Three Waters services and the community voice is heard.
Install recycling bins in all large and small town centres and at events, and provide more education on how to recycle better at home.
Push back on the current proposed Three Waters reform. Reform is needed, but I do not support the current proposal and way it has been done.
Continue to support Keep New Zealand Beautiful's initiatives under the Keep Hauraki Beautiful umbrella, helping keep our towns clean.
