Our job in a nutshell

Council’s job is a big one. We need to meet the communities’ current and future needs for good-quality local infrastructure, public services, and performing regulatory functions. We’re also responsible for the wellbeing of all people in our district.

In 2019 the Government reintroduced the four wellbeings into the Local Government Act 2002, our governing legislation. This reflects the role local leadership has to promote the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of people and communities.

The four wellbeings are now considered in all Council decisions. Our community outcomes, outlined in our Long-term Plan 2021–41, help focus our mahi (work) so we improve the wellbeing of our community.
