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.

Advocate for sensible town and rural planning to ensure communities are resilient for any climate change effects, eg avoid flood plains.
Keep to practical solutions worked out with community. I don't agree with locally enforced levies which are not used to support local areas.
Urban Warkworth needs good clean drinking water that does not taste like chemicals. We need to safeguard our rural communities.
A comprehensive conservation strategy is needed. One that's practical and not off on the latest environmental tangent.
Support building an all weather multipurpose recreation and sports facility and community swimming pool, with a bike and skate park.
Ensure fair share of Regional Targeted Rates for Natural Environment, Climate Action and Water Quality deliver benefits to Rodney.
Provide funding for a community emergency resilience plan and mitigation of flood hazards.
Trial new bus services using smaller vehicles. With the aim to provide a more efficient and well-utilised public transport service.
