Hurunui District Council

East Ward
The Hurunui 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 10 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). Two councillors will be elected from the East 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 Hurunui District Council election.

Environment

Local governments play a central role in protecting the environment, reducing waste and safeguarding biodiversity. The worsening state of New Zealand’s lakes and rivers is a major challenge for local councils, which work with regional councils in the management of water resources in their area.

  • Work with communities and businesses to better protect this resource in a way that benefits all.

    Encourage the creation of new and developing re-forested areas and increase pest control measures to protect native fauna.

    Continue to develop and expand on the great work already done in waste management so that what we get rid of can also benefit us.

  • Explore and support water storage options, both domestic and larger scale, for drought resilience and sustainability

    Support and continue to grow the good work currently being achieved in district waste minimisation/management.

    I do not support Government legislated significant natural areas on private land. Best outcomes achieved supporting the willing and passionate inspiring commitment.

  • Support community initiatives to improve water quality where there is an issue. Encourage local preservation of healthy waterways.

    Commit to active pest control with planned targets which in turn protects biodiversity.

    Demonstrate good husbandry by good waste minimisation and management policies.
