West Harbour Community Board
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.

Survey current street cleaning services to identify potential for improvement of the local streetscapes.
Back the development of the proposed West Harbour dog park.
Promote the prioritisation of upgrades to water infrastructure.
Provide a fresh water tap in all wards that is as pure as you can get it. If that means tanker water so be it.
Reduce dog registration to $50 and $30 if animal is neutered.
Clean cycleways regularly if needed.
Ensure that all residents of West Harbour, especially Māori, understand the impact of the Three Waters and can feed back to the Dunedin City Council.
Request that the Dunedin City Council re-run the vote for joining Communities for Local Democracy as residents do not appear to support Three Waters.
Launch a campaign to remove dog licencing.
Advocate and work with council to reduce wastewater overflows to the Sawyers Bay coast.
Ensure development does not put pressure on the existing three waters infrastructure and cause issues to peoples property and the environment.
Local recycling/rubbish hubs (like provided in the Dunedin CBD) for Port Chalmers, Aramoana and Long Beach.
Ensure that Three Waters policies are implemented for the benefit of the majority of users.
Promote the uptake of a black bin to replace the current black plastic bags.
Educate visitors with signs and provide butt bins to keep our waters free of cigarette butts.
Dogs to be welcome but under control in our city and on the buses.
Seek more local operational funding in the mix. That would mean more road maintenance, drain clearing, street cleaning.
Advocate for waste reduction policies that place the emphasis on producer responsibility instead of ratepayers carrying the can.
I support local stewardship and public ownership of our Three Waters assets. Regional governance committees are a good idea.
Push for adequate rubbish and recycling facilities on the West Harbour Walkway and other popular public areas.
Better policing of dog control and dog fouling in popular public areas such as Back Beach and West Harbour Walkway.
Educate public about littering and introduce regular free rubbish days to help prevent illegal dumping.
