Invercargill City 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.

Continue to challenge the Three Waters proposal and drive for the best outcomes for Invercargill and Bluff.
Implement waste reduction and emission reduction recycling and rubbish streams.
Ensure the delivery of our waste minimisation plan.
Improve kerbside recycling – educate and incentivise residents to recycle.
Invest in water infrastructure. Build capacity in drinking water facilities.
Provide quality and resilient public services to residents.
Continue to support our existing water services.
Reinstate drop-off recycling facilities.
Review the needs of residents regarding wheelie bins.
Advocate for the opposition to Three Waters. Invercargill will be a net loser under the reform.
Prioritise finding a second source of drinking water. Currently Invercargill's water supply is dependent on one source – the Oreti River.
Bring forward plans and expand the placement of CTV cameras in the three main commercial areas of the city.
Recyling centre needs to be toddler friendly like other centres. Needs staff need polite respect, not with money but honours.
Poop bag and poop bins for dog walkers.
Three Waters needs more consideration. Though generally, it's currently out of our hands.
Commit council to create glass recycling hub exchanges around the city, address e-waste minimisation and plastic re-purpose opportunities.
Commit council to provide alternative water supply that's affordable, sustainable, safe, along with storm water and waste water networks.
Commit council to support local recycling contract to stay local such as recycle south.
Continue to challenge the Three Waters proposal in the interests of Invercargill and Bluff.
Ensure we have a good plan going forward for waste minimisation.
Support the NZMCA to have a dump station at their park.
Supply quality Three Waters via Water Entities Board. I envisage a general consumption tax, everyone pays, not just ratepayers, the solution!
Wishing for council to commit to full automated waste program, created by locals, for locals, I'm a waste specialist, we can lead the way!
Improve animal control, street cleaning, provide more toilets and waste collection, better gardens, all done with community collaboration.
Protest about the government approach to the Three Waters initiative and its means of implementation.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh, clean water to the city.
Provide a rubbish collection for all the city, not just those in the inner city area.
