Thames-Coromandel District Council
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.

Plastic bottle free Coromandel Peninsula? Potable water fountains in our streets to refill bottles.
Work with Three Waters legislation to advocate strongly for financial support for infrastructure in Mercury Bay which has high tourism levels.
Reject Three Waters.
Expand the recycle stations to accommodate upcycling rubbish.
Develop and grow a community wide culture that understands and advocates for the importance of reduce, reuse and recycle.
Be transparent in our policies concerning three waters, ensure the people in the community know the what, why and how.
I personally need to do more research and want to understand more in depth about our rubbish, water and our future planning in these areas.
Campaign strongly for fair resolution to Three Waters that recognises current value of investments, and control over assets and quality.
Encourage an efficient and well managed waste management policy that supports environmental as well as resident needs.
Provide access locally to core council services and local staff delegations to effectively meet the needs of residents.
