Local Water Done Well: Central Hawke's Bay Remains At The Regional Table For Local Water Done Well
Central Hawke's Bay Councillors voted unanimously to remain at the table for the next stages of the design of a Regional Water Services Council-Controlled Organisation in Hawke's Bay under the Government's Local Water Done Well policy. Deliberations were held to consider the community's submissions on three options, a Regional CCO with our Hawke's Bay councils, in-house delivery, and a standalone CCO, and the views heard during the five-week consultation period. 'Now's the time we need to sit at the table with Government and our regional partners to ensure the challenges of the district's three waters infrastructure are turned into opportunities for generations to come,'Central Hawke's Bay Mayor Alex Walker said. From the submissions it was clear that those residents connected to and paying for water, supported change to the Regional CCO the most – it's this group of people that are most impacted, she said. 'But we also recognise this is a complex issue of ownership, control, Government reach, trust, confidence, as well as affordability. 'We've listened to these points, and they helped strengthen our response. Your voices have armed us with the support for clear advocacy in the region and to push back at Government policy, and how to better right-size our investment. 'Addressing the challenges of our water infrastructure is one of the most significant – if not the most significant issue for this district. We have been advocating to Government, and anyone who will listen that the system is broken and must change to support districts like ours," Walker said. 'I have called on Local Government Minister Simon Watts, imploring him to consider changes that would benefit smaller rural communities, including Central Hawke's Bay.' Local Water Done Well isn't the silver bullet for making water services delivery affordable in Central Hawke's Bay. However, it begins to address the wider challenges with water services delivery in New Zealand, said Chief Executive Central Hawke's Bay District Council Doug Tate. Council will continue working to understand how it can make the investment options more affordable, he said. 'The hard reality is that this won't come without its risks or trade-offs to the resilience and performance of our networks. 'Nothing about what we need to do is new. We have been highlighting the challenges and need for major investment in our infrastructure since 2017. The regular water shutdowns our community face are a reminder of the investment required for our ageing infrastructure.

Rangitīkei District Council Adopts Annual Plan 2025/26
At its Council meeting held on Thursday 26 June, Rangitīkei District Council adopted its Annual Plan for 2025/26, and reduced the average rates rise from the 9.1% percent that was consulted on, to 7.9%. Reducing the average rates increase by 1.2% percent equates to a $457,763 (including GST) reduction in spend for the next financial year, without impacting Council's level of service to Rangitīkei residents. The efficiencies were found through interest cost savings and revising the level of depreciation that Council is required to recover through rates. Rangitīkei District Mayor Andy Watson says that Council recognises the strain that rates rises puts on household budgets. He hailed the efforts of staff and the advocacy of elected members, who listened to the concerns of residents and worked together with staff to balance rates affordability and moving Rangitīkei forward. 'This is an incredible achievement in the face of rising costs and such an expansive planned programme of work. As household costs rise, so too do Council costs. It's about balance: The work we need to do to keep Rangitīkei running, delivering to the needs and desires of our community, positioning Rangitīkei for economic growth and development, and maintaining affordability for ratepayers.' The Annual Plan 2025/26 confirms Council's work plan for the year ahead, which includes repairs to the Marton Swim Centre, completing the switch to Marton's new water supply, continuing the District Plan review, construction of the Calico Line Shared Pathway and beginning work on the Taihape Town Hall and Library redevelopment. 'The sheer speed and volume of change and headwind facing local government continues to put immense pressure on our progress. I appreciate all the effort that has gone into this Annual Plan, and into ensuring Rangitīkei is well positioned to confidently face challenges with optimism,' adds Mayor Andy. The adopted Annual Plan will be available from our website shortly.

Mounting Legal Threats And Property Deal Patterns Spark Fresh Call For National Inquiry
Tauranga, NZ – Civic watchdog and advocacy group Lobby for Good is renewing its call for an independent investigation and a full Auditor-General inquiry after its legal advisor, Kirsten Murfitt (Principal at KM Law), uncovered another high-risk land transaction involving Tauranga City Council. The deal saw land at 57 Pitau Road, sold to a developer for $6.65 million, then bought back within seconds the same day for $13.59 million. No open tender. No clear explanation. Even more concerning, the land appears to have been subject to the Public Works Act, which legally requires it to be offered back to the original owner. That offer-back isn't recorded on the title, and Council's justification relies on a vague reference to a 'successor.' 'This isn't just about one deal,' says Erika Harvey, Director of Public Affairs at Lobby for Good. 'It's about a pattern, deals that quietly transfer public value to private hands, often without oversight or genuine public input.' Harvey says that in investigating other developments across Tauranga, Lobby for Good and her legal advisor Kirsten Murfitt have already encountered legal threats aimed at stifling scrutiny and public questioning. 'These legal threats didn't arise from the Pitau Road development, but based on the behaviour we've seen elsewhere, we are concerned that the same approach could be used to silence public concern here too,' Harvey says. Lobby for Good, in partnership with its external legal advisors at KM Law, have now documented at least seven concerning property or governance decisions made under Tauranga's unelected commissioners, including the undervalued sale of the Marine Precinct, hidden influence over candidate selection, heavily redacted information requests, and clauses in elder housing contracts requiring Council to repurchase land before on-selling it. 'This is soft corruption,' Harvey says. 'Legal-looking deals that quietly shift public value into private hands. And now, instead of transparency, we are seeing patterns of legal intimidation being used to discourage public scrutiny.' Lobby for Good reports that residents from the Pitau Road community have contacted them, feeling helpless, angry, and voiceless. They're deeply concerned that this high-rise development will overshadow their homes, devalue their properties, destroy the neighbourhood's character, increase traffic and stormwater problems, and set a dangerous precedent for suburban intensification without proper consultation. Residents say they've been shut out of the process from day one, with decisions made behind closed doors under fast-track consenting rules that silenced the community's voice. 'We hear you,' says Harvey. 'This is your neighbourhood, your skyline, your home. You deserve to be heard.' Lobby for Good is calling on residents affected by the Pitau Road development to visit and register their interest to attend a community meeting about the Pitau development. If there is sufficient interest, Lobby for Good will support residents in bringing their voices into the mainstream, connecting them with wider networks, and working together to prevent this from happening to other everyday Kiwis in communities across New Zealand. 'In a healthy democracy, journalists and advocates shouldn't need legal defence just to ask questions,' says Harvey. 'That's why we're again calling on the Office of the Auditor-General and the Department of Internal Affairs to investigate the full scope of governance failures, and whether legal intimidation is being used to suppress public participation in Tauranga.' Lobby for Good is calling for: A public-facing, independent investigation into all land and asset sales approved under Tauranga's unelected commissioners. A formal inquiry by the Office of the Auditor-General into Council financial decisions, consultation failures, and conflicts of interest. An immediate review of the use of legal threats to suppress scrutiny of public decisions. 'If nothing improper occurred, there should be no need for threats, only answers,' says Harvey. 'And if this is happening in Tauranga, what else is happening behind closed doors across New Zealand?'
