Mayor of Horowhenua
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 strongly for retention of Three Waters in council's hands to ensure democratic accountability, local ownership and investment decisions.
Push forward with the establishment of a new 30 day+ reserve water supply reservoir behind Levin to remove ongoing water restrictions.
Investigate a range of waste management and minimisation strategies that actually have a meaningful impact.
Establish kerbside organic waste collection, kai and green waste, working with the community on their vision.
Establish a workable adaption of recycling for business, early childcare, schools, high schools and alternative education locations.
