Wairoa 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.
