Democracy and <strong>Plan</strong>ning<br />
<strong>Council</strong> provides democratic local decision-making and action by, and on behalf of our <strong>District</strong>’s<br />
many communities. We are focused on meeting the current and future needs of communities for<br />
good-quality local infrastructure, local public services, and performance of regulatory functions<br />
in a way that is most cost-effective for households and businesses.<br />
Leadership, Governance and<br />
Advocacy services<br />
What we do<br />
<strong>Council</strong> acts as the <strong>District</strong>’s advocate with regional and<br />
national governments to ensure that the needs of our<br />
communities are considered when policies and plans<br />
are being developed. We have a major programme of<br />
engagement with residents and ratepayers that includes<br />
a wide range of committee work and a communications<br />
programme.<br />
What we plan for <strong>2013</strong>/<strong>14</strong><br />
• Conduct elections for the <strong>District</strong>’s Mayor, <strong>Council</strong> and<br />
the Turangi-Tongariro Community Board.<br />
• Participate in the Waikato regional growth, planning and<br />
efficiency project. ($70,000).<br />
What’s different from the LTP<br />
Services under this activity are the same as in the LTP<br />
2012.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> works collaboratively with a wide range of other<br />
governing bodies, including central government, other<br />
local government (such as Waikato Regional <strong>Council</strong>), iwi<br />
authorities (such as the Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board)<br />
and local hapu, district health boards, and many others.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> meetings are webcast, and <strong>Council</strong> papers are<br />
available prior to meetings, to promote transparency and<br />
accountability of decision-making.<br />
