Policies

Improve local affordability through smarter spending, shared-cost models and prioritisation of essential infrastructure.

Proactively maintain essential pipes and infrastructure, planning for growth to prevent costly failures.

Reduce waste via local recycling, composting and repair cafés, creating community value and practical, cost-effective circular solutions.

Ensure informed decision making and transparency on utilities and services so the community can use its voice to shape Raumati.

Clean and maintain shared paths to keep people walking and riding safe.

Continue to ensure that Raumati's waterways, drains and streams are maintained to protect from flooding.

Provide incentives for residents to help keep streets and berms clean from debris.

Bring back in-house waste management systems to avoid having six trucks on rubbish day in one street.

Provide incentives for using recycled containers and encourage residents and visitors to take their rubbish with them.

Encourage more street cleaning services, particularly near the winter season.

Support households paying for their own rubbish collection to encourage recycling and less waste.

Support ways to reuse rubbish as bio waste to create renewable energy sources.

Work with community groups and council staff to promote home composting, waste reduction and recycling.
