Pre-election report aims to promote informed debate

13 August 2013
Candidates standing for a position on Waipa District Council, and voters, are being encouraged to read the pre-election report.

The report is a new legal requirement of all councils from this year, and has been produced by the Chief Executive.

Its aim is to provide politically independent information about the issues the council faces, promote public discussion and help voters to make informed choices.

The majority of the information in the report is drawn from Annual Reports, the 2012-22 10-Year Plan and the 2013/14 Annual Plan.

It highlights key projects for the next four years including upgraded water storage and reservoirs, water reticulation extensions and upgrades, road renewals and construction, and library and museum plans for Te Awamutu.

The report is available at council offices or online by clicking here.
