Mayor of Ruapehu
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.

Continue to oppose Three Waters reform, to protect community ownership and voice. Encourage central government to invest where necessary.
Encourage less spending on short lived products that go directly to landfill. Implement the waste reduction pyramid.
Strengthen compliance of our current dog policy so that it is safe to walk our own streets.
Continue to oppose Three Waters reform, while considering a new model that ensures local investment and upgrades to ageing infrastructure.
Bring pride back to our main streets by prioritising and funding township revitalisation projects.
Continue to push for better control of stray cats by working with compliance and the SPCA – right across the district.
Eliminate power poverty in Ruapehu by establishing relationships with power companies that care about our people.
Commit to providing clean drinking water and ensure that our wastewater is dispersed properly and does not leak into our waterways.
Build dog-run and fence-safe areas where families can enjoy time with their pets. These areas are sheltered and free.
