Mayor of Waipā
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.

Plan and fund the development of a resource recovery center in Waipā. Investigate options for local social enterprise management of the same.
Support the creation of a cost effective kerbside food waste collection and other projects that enables diversion from landfill.
Maintain my opposition to Three Waters reform on the grounds that is not in the best interests of Waipā residents and ratepayers.
Move Waipā towards a zero-waste rubbish management system.
Push back on Three Waters to protect our significant asset in our pipe network.
Work with mana whenua to truly address polluted lakes, restoring the water and lake beds to their original (or close to) state.
By building houses more stormwater is created due to less permeable land taking up water.
Decline the fluoride proposal. Our water is great and we do not need any poison added. Promoting less sugar and healthy living is better.
Decline the Three Waters proposal from central government. Our systems are good and we do not need our assets to be given away, they are ours.
