Rotorua Lakes Community Board

The Rotorua Lakes Community Board represents your local community and advocates to Rotorua District Council about local issues, including public transport and facilities such as libraries and parks. The board is made up of five members: four members elected by voters, and one councillor from the Rotorua District Council. There will be no election this year because there are the same number of candidates as there are positions. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Rotorua Lakes Community Board election.

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.

  • Stop Three Waters, it should remain in local control.

  • Reduce rubbish going to the tip by implementing collection of green waste. Education programs to support community to reduce and reuse.

    Education and engagement to support all dog owners to act appropriately so cost doesn't just get passed onto those doing the right things.
