Our Council needs to listen to you |
How should we spend the $5.26 million of Better Off Funding?
I want a council that listens to you and doesn't continue to make decisions behind closed doors. So I'm asking for your input into this decision.
The Government is proposing to reform how three waters services are managed and delivered across Aotearoa New Zealand. Our council, while not agreeing with the changes, chose to advocate from inside the tent. Ultimately we didn't think opposing Three Waters would make any difference, and our community would miss out on the 'better off ' funding totalling $21.05 million.

Currently there is $5.26 million available now, and a further $15.79 million available on 01 July 2024.
The total funding package for all councils is $2 billion.
Our council plans to bring the decision to the council table without consulting our community. I do not think this is good practice. We need to build trust with our community, so I'm asking you what your priorities are.
