Infrastructure
Our Three Waters network (water supply to houses on the networks, the treatment and disposal of wastewater, and stormwater management) needs investment, as various pipes, pumps and treatment plants are starting to deteriorate. In some cases, they’re beyond their useful life.
Our large road network, sealed and unsealed, also requires work. It is part subsidised by NZTA but things like footpaths and cycleways are not. We also look at growth areas and how projects around State Highway 1, both in Whangarei and Auckland, can impact Kaipara.
Infrastructure also includes flood protection and land drainage, waste minimisation and reserves and open spaces e.g. parks, playgrounds.
Infrastructure repair and replacement goals, and what they cost are noted in our Infrastructure Strategy. That outlines the work we’re doing over the next 30 years. Your response to the following questions will help direct our strategy.
