Rangiora-Ashley Community Board
Climate change and resilience
Climate change poses a huge challenge for communities as more frequent extreme weather events require us to rethink how we live and where. Local authorities are at the forefront of efforts to respond, with responsibilities for environmental planning and regulation, as well as civil defence. Many councils have plans to reduce emissions in their area and are working to help their communities adapt to a warming world.

Ensure our infrastructure is well maintained and improved to handle future extreme weather events.
I would love to see Rangiora High school exploring climate change resilience with its students and using the farm as a resource for this.
Encourage local initiatives such as food forests, Garden to Table and our Rangiora and Ohoka markets to create a more resilient community.
Running for community board means listening to the community's needs and putting them first.
Listening to all sides for climate change and making sure we action what is real not fiction.
Give extra support to all of our services to support defences for all situations and in line with population growth.
Commit to growing resilience in our communities, by partnering effective organisations with the same values and goals.
Promote an investigation of the feasibility of a ratepayer funded relief fund for response in disasters to reduce loan reliance.
Actively promote solar power within our district.
Advocate our local community initiatives for emergency planning and management, waste minimisation and climate change reduction.
Promote a continued climate change focus that is applied to local decision making across the whole of the district.
Bold and sensible planning of Rangiora's growth to make our town an even better place to live, work and play safely.
Ensuring Rangiora is a safe place for our tamariki, children, where they are proud to grow up, encouraged and supported by our community.
Caring for the environment. Developing Rangiora sustainably so that the land, water and air is protected for our mokopuna, grandchildren.
