Hurunui District
Councils are responsible for a wide range of local services including roads, water reticulation, sewerage and refuse collection, libraries, parks, recreation services, local regulations, community and economic development, and town planning. All of these can impact the population growth and demographics of your area by making it a more or less appealing place to live.

Your council doesn’t set income taxes. However, decisions your council makes can impact your income. For example, councils can choose to pay a Living Wage to their employees. Councils can also drive economic development through policy decisions, which in turn may result in wage rises or higher paying jobs coming to the area.

Your council is not responsible for running schools in your area or deciding where schools are built. However, council decisions absolutely impact education, such as the availability of libraries, and building consents for new school buildings. Many councils also provide school programmes to support learning outside of the classroom, such as sustainability education.

Council planning decisions impact the types of businesses (and therefore jobs!) that are available in your area. They also impact how affordable it is to live in your area, which in turn impacts the type of work and number of hours people work. Regional council transport decisions impact the availability of public transport and safe cycling and walking facilities, which changes how people get to work each day.

However, councils are large employers and responsible for workplace safety at all council sites like pools and libraries. Council decisions on maintenance of infrastructure like roading can impact your safety when working.

Councils make plans that determine what different areas of land can be used for. These plans control whether land is designated for urban use, rural use, or something else. Council decisions impact the price of land and therefore the rates paid. This impacts whether owners of the land choose to farm it or build houses.

Councils drive the policies which in turn, dictate the spending of the council organisations. Council organisations have their own CEOs, who manage day-to-day operations. CEOs consult with their councils to decide how to operate council services.
