Whangārei 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.

Protect our Three Waters infrastructure, this is not negotiable. Stand alone if need be. We have achieved on our own, why wouldn't we survive alone.
Ability to fund is key. Whangārei District Council will be structured to facilitate all its needs for the populace. It's steady as we go.
Growth is forging ahead, it is essential we keep in front with our service level availability. We do not want to end up like Auckland.
Develop and create and innovative recycling centre that can recycle a wider range of plastics and/or other materials.
Larger recycling bins.
Allow certain amount of refuse and garden waste to be dumped free at tips to prevent fly tipping.
