Policies

Consult the community on how the development contribution funds are spent in our area – some small townships are missing out.

Try and keep rates affordable and manage spend – inflation is inevitable but good financial management and investment will help.

Keep rates affordable, a reverse mortgage shouldn't be a consideration for the family farm/home to keep up with rates.

Keep control of Selwyn's/Malvern's assets in our hands. Financial liquidity is important but our people are more important.

Maintain low debt spreadsheet, but invest where our infrastructure is failing. Roading should have permanent repairs not cosmetic repairs.

Raise levies to fund appropriate infrastructure in new housing areas.

Establish a fairer process to allocate rates back into rural Malvern communities to modernise amnesties and facilities to improve well-being.

Improve community wellbeing in Malvern by providing local, cycle, walking and pump tracks by utilising allocation of rates.
