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 />

Performance measures<br />

What we want to know<br />

<strong>Council</strong> performance is highly rated<br />

Performance measures and targets<br />

54% of the <strong>District</strong> rates the performance of the Mayor and <strong>Council</strong>lors as very good or<br />

fairly good.<br />
