Environment
Local governments play a central role in protecting the environment, reducing waste and safeguarding biodiversity. The worsening state of New Zealand’s lakes and rivers is a major challenge for local councils, which work with regional councils in the management of water resources in their area.

Strengthen strategies to protect our natural environment and resources in our planning and growth strategies to preserve our biodiversity.
Reduce home, food and business waste and ensure food waste recycling strategies are fully investigated and implemented with the community.
Establish relationships with environment groups, business and individuals to better understand issues and ask "what can we do to help".
Our council is the source of much environmental pollution due to poor wastewater management. This needs urgent decisions and action.
Wairarapa Moana is the third largest lake in the North Island. It is in a bad way. The council needs to do more to help restore this lake.
Recent events show us that our natural heritage and historic precincts are at risk. We need improved town planning rules to safeguard them.
Recognise and provide for tangata whenua participation in on water and wastewater discussions and decisions.
