Local democracy

Local government is a foundational part of our democracy. But local democracy isn’t just about holding elections every three years – it’s about the day-to-day ways people have their say in the decisions that affect us all.

  • Ensure always appropriate democratic local decision making for the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of our district.

    Utilise drop-in centres, workshops, neighbourhood meetings, focus groups and surveys to get residents' feedback on community issues.

    Avoid secret "in committee" meetings wherever possible to ensure maximum transparency and accountability.

  • Improve public information with less reliance on the unreliable free press.

    Work with iwi and others giving financial education and a hand up rather than hand out. Personal money coaches help with interest-free loans.
