Make policies that enhance the natural environment as meaningful wealth that can sustain mokopuna in the region.
Support innovative industries that aim for novel and regenerative outcomes in conservation and tourism.
Recognise territorial authority jurisdiction over jobs but highlight that water availability and management are critical in Otago.
Note that the ORC has little infrastructure beyond maintenance of existing flood works.
Address the infrastructure burden on ratepayers caused by tourism economies in Queenstown, Cromwell and Wanaka, requiring redress.
Continue to be informed by the Otago Regional Policy Statement, Otago Economic Work Programme and Wai Māori/Kāi Tahu reports.
Ensure staggered transport and flood infrastructure investment to avoid compounding costs and sudden large rates rises.
Protect environment because without it there is no tourism, local business or employment. Care for whenua and the whenua will care for us.
