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.

  • Encourage at least one international airport in our constituency.

    Maintain subsidy for local public transport network.

    Work with relevant parties to improve the seriously bad state of roads being flagged by concerned members of the public as safety issues.

  • Fight for sufficient road maintenance and improvement funds so our roads are safe and resilient. Roads north of Whangārei are the pits. Why?

    Get more people on our buses. They are underutilised. Why? Those that call for them don't seem to use them.

    Hold responsible the people who mismanage our roads like SH1 Mangamuka. Roads are like teeth. Its far cheaper to look after them well.
