Kaitake Community Board

The Kaitake Community Board represents your local community and advocates to New Plymouth District Council about local issues, including public transport and facilities such as libraries and parks. The board is made up of five members: four members elected by voters, and one councillor from the New Plymouth District Council.  This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Kaitake Community Board election.

Transport

Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

  • Build safe cycling lanes from Okato to New Plymouth. Currently narrow road shoulders and blind curves are dangerous and bridges are narrow.

    Construct more off-road walking and cycling trails. Encourage active aging with more physical activities for adults.

    Move to extend the current schedules of public transport from our communities, perhaps by using smaller busses making more frequent trips.
