Mayor of Rotorua
Utilities and services
Councils are responsible for a wide range of utilities and services that we all rely on, from rubbish and recycling to street cleaning. Councils are currently also responsible for managing waste water, storm water and drinking water infrastructure – the ‘Three Waters’. But that may be about to change, with central government seeking to shift the delivery of Three Waters services to four new larger entities, which could borrow enough to upgrade the country’s water infrastructure.

Upgrade and increase stormwater infrastructure to unlock housing developments.
Retain our "Three Waters" asset and ensure control remains in the hands of local council.
We need to review our dog policy in the CBD. People now want to come to a city and bring their pets as well. We need to be user friendly.
Our city needs better lighting to encourage safety.
We need to be tougher on noise pollution.
Join the 30+ councils in Communities for Local Democracy to campaign for a NZTA-like structure to integrate national and local Three Waters delivery.
Clean up Fenton Street and recover Rotorua's reputation as a tourist destination and the most beautiful town in New Zealand.
Implement the proposed green waste collection, composting and commercialisation project.
I'm against Three Waters. Generations of families here have paid for our water assets. We must keep ownership and decision making local.
I will reverse the sale of public reserves for housing and support them remaining as important green spaces for residents and families.
I support projects that have positive long term benefits and outcomes for our community, economy and environment.
Support council and residents' opposition to Three Waters reform bill. Maintain the high standard of Rotorua waters, more stormwater upgrade.
Trial dog accessible areas including outdoor restaurants. Review dog licensing and dog control rules.
Trial individual household composting rather than additional costs to ratepayers for organic waste pickup. Encourage home compost usage.
Introduce kerbside organic waste collection and local composting, expand the existing collection to rural communities that don't have it.
Introduce green infrastructure and waste sensitive urban design to help increase our storm water capacity.
Introduce better inner city lighting and neighbourhood lighting to give our city a better atmosphere and improve safety.
