Kaipara District 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.

Oppose the current Three Waters reforms in their current form, support the Communities for Local Democracy initiative. Reform is necessary.
Continue to look for ways of reducing the volume of waste to landfill. We are too much a throwaway society.
Promote an educational approach to help residents minimise waste and do their own recycling.
Put the 'Three Waters' proposal currently mandated by central government to the community by way of a referendum. I oppose it.
