What do we do?

Just what is it council’s do?

It’s a question often asked, and Local Government New Zealand is determined to answer it.

The national body that binds New Zealand’s councils, regional councils, and unitary authorities, has put together a campaign which all councils can use. Hastings District Council, Napier City Council and Hawke’s Bay Regional Council have taken it on as a group.

Most people know that councils look after things like roads, sewerage, water supply and storm water, but that is not the extent of their responsibilities.

Councils across New Zealand support events for their residents and visitors, put in new parks and reserves and then maintain them, provide library and gallery services, encourage tourism into their regions, support leadership within their districts, and, of course, maintain road, water, storm water and sewerage networks.

The five week campaign (March 14 to April 18) is about building understanding of the diverse range of council responsibilities and services, and that the focus of councils is the well-being of their residents.
