Kaipara District Council
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 that we get the best deal possible for Kaipara's people when we get dissolved.
I'm not advocating for the demise of our council, I just see it as the inevitable consequence of government reforms.
Co-governance is undesirable to have minority groups in dominant positions legislated with a casting vote.
Continue MMP providing for minority groups to be heard with a threshold.
Be competitive in council remuneration, and the culture must serve their ratepayers and community.
