Policies

Increase council support for Predator Free to protect Wellington's native birds.

Prioritise waste minimisation as an objective in council procurement.

Implement a resource recovery park at the landfill supported by resource recovery hubs throughout the city.

Deliver a food and green waste collection service, create compost from this resource to replenish soils and grow food for communities.

Become a re-use city starting by removal of all single use packaging for a city wide reusable container systems.

Increase pine removal and native bush regeneration to ensure greater hillside stability. This helps ensure accessibility after major earthquake events.

Reinvent Wellington Water – to ensure better, more resilient collection, distribution and maintenance.

Introduce a surcharge/refund system for plastic/metal/glass bottles to help minimise waste and provide a source of income for community groups.

Maintain Wellington Water as they have accountability back to government. They have a plan to deal with pipes.

Encourage the community to keep the trapping program and look at rolling the Mirimar plan out to the rest of Wellington.

Support the recycling program the council have in place for long term plan, also the new waste processing at Moa Point.

Keep Wellington Water as we would lose control over the management and checking fluoridation etc.

Create greener spaces and plant more trees.

We should have a designated plant that compresses rubbish and recycle more plastics.

Get cracking on dealing with defective infrastructure. Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink or spare or ditty may just ring true.

Increase the number of trees planted across the city. Identify grassy areas that can be allowed to rewild to support biodiversity.

Daylight streams that are running through pipes to improve water quality and reduce the load on our stormwater system during heavy rainfall.

Provide community facilities to enable recycling, composting and reuse of resources at a local level.

Monitor and fix the water pipe infrastructure, which includes wastewater leaking into soil and waterways that causes harm.

Increase frequency in pest control of predators of our native animals and aggressive plants on our flora.

Create by-laws and fine those who do not abide by the progressive waste management by-laws.

Increase money for native tree regeneration.

Start a city-wide food and green waste collection to reduce waste.

Remove all sewage discharges to urban streams.
