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.

  • Practice Kaitiakitanga. Care for the mana, the tapu and the mauri of our environment.

    Reduce our rubbish and recyclables that go to landfill.

    Establish community fruit harvesting and appropriate disposal of food waste.

  • Educate our community to enhance the use of water preservation.

    Create posters for our children to help them understand how to protect our environment.

    Recite areas in our community where pest control is required and attain it.

  • I believe the council has a robust plan in place for Three Waters and will support all avenues to keep this under council control.

    Waste management in Kawerau needs updating to reflect modern uses. Bigger bins for extended family and options for CBD dwellers.
