What have I as the Coastal South Councillor for Northland Regional Council been up to?

Without doubt the most important message I can get across in this editorial is that we ‘are all in this together’. When elected to council we agree to act for the whole Northland region. Yes we work in our local areas, but to achieve the ambitious goals that we have set in the Long Term Plan we must work together. By ‘we’ I mean all of us, especially the committed community individuals and groups that have been established and supported as a result of the ongoing Long Term Plan initiatives.

Can we achieve the ambitious goals set for improving fresh and coastal waters, river management, flood prevention and pest management? With the technical support and commitment offered by the council and your hard work we will give it a good go. In addition to this your Regional Council assists with many other initiatives including emergency services, Northland wide sports facilities, Civil Defence, navigation safety and much more.
