Mayor of Whakatāne
Transport
Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

Continue work on building (e)bike paths on a loop connecting Whakatāne, Awakeri, Edgcumbe, Thornton, and Matatā.
Include a strategic assessment of the transport network in the spatial plan, including a proper business case for another bridge.
Advocate to Waka Kotahi to fix some of their poorly maintained roads, eg to Te Waimana.
Halt further talks of another bridge. Use the roundabout for traffic flow. Use James Street or Victoria Avenue, to avoid the roundabout.
Support maintenance of our oil refineries to ensure quality bitumen ingredients on our roads. Poor quality means further costs ongoing.
Work with regional council to fund a free transport service aimed at reducing dependence on cars.
Lobby government and NZ Transport Agency for a much needed and long overdue second bridge.
Free charging stations powered by council solar farms to encourage conversion from ICE to BEVs. Encourage use of small electric vehicles.
