Policies

Working with new established entities like the Three Waters and health entities to get the best for our community that's sustainable and works.

Identifying better more technically advanced means to deal with waste and minimising waste that are inline with district and national policies.

Managing the needs of the district without further costs to ratepayers, drawing on all other revenue sources to offset costs on our own.

Support Three Waters where we see the refund of investment back to council otherwise we should not lose control of these assets.

Reduce landfill thru increased recycling of building supplies and household items that can be repaired and create employment at same time.

Increase animal control to reduce dogs roaming and make more areas mandatory leash required.

Support ongoing waste disposal facilities through our kerbside bag collection service, and waste transfer stations in Foxton and Shannon.

Work for a successful transition to the Three Waters Strategy while ensuring permanent public ownership of all assets.

Support anti-litter campaigns and making it clear to dog owners to be responsible and pick up their dog poo when they walk their dogs.

Re-introduce bi-annual kerbside collection of large items such as fridges and cookers.

Ensure that the new Three Waters concept improves our situation regarding drinking water and disposal of storm water.

Pay attention to animal control. Look at providing secure areas for free run dog exercise.
