Things we think we should focus on

Te Aroha Spa

Tell us what you think about Te Aroha Spa:
Our preferred option – work towards developing a new destination spa
Any other comments on Te Aroha Spa:
Do the complete works now. It will only cost more as time passes.

Additional water sources for Morrinsville

Tell us what you think about Additional water sources for Morrinsville:
Our preferred option – provide two additional water sources for Morrinsville
Any other comments on Additional water sources for Morrinsville:
I would like to see the water meters used efficiently. Allow each property a daily allowance and be billed for excess water usage.
User pays!

Facing the rubbish problem head on

Tell us what you think about Kerbside collections:
Our preferred option – changing kerbside collections from 2023
Any other comments on Kerbside collections:
I would prefer to see much more detail on how the district will move to zero waste. At present this is merely a good idea. Much more planning needed.
Tell us what you think about Resource recovery centres:
Put resource recovery centres in all three towns
Any other comments on Resource recovery centres:
Good idea for all. I query why Matamata needs a recovery centre twice the size of Morrinsville with a population of similar [underlined] size.

Revitalising our town centres

Tell us what you think about Revitalising our town centres:
Don’t do it
Any other comments on Revitalising our town centres:
There is nothing wrong with any of the town centres. This is a "like" not a need.

Tell us what you think about Mountain bike skills and dog park for Te Aroha:
Our preferred option – develop mountain bike skills and dog park for Te Aroha
Any other comments on Mountain bike skills and dog park for Te Aroha:

Improving walking and cycling connections

Tell us what you think about Improving walking and cycling connections:
Our preferred option – improving walking and cycling connections Slow but steady
Any other comments on Improving walking and cycling connections:
Especially a cycleway between Te Aroha and Morrinsville

Dog park in Matamata

Tell us what you think about Dog park in Matamata:
Don’t do it
Any other comments on Dog park in Matamata:
Dog owners have all public streets to walk dogs. Additional money is not needed to give them their own space.
What do you think about our proposed limits for rates and debt?
It could be better if the "nice to have" projects were removed.
What do you think about our plans for our other projects?
Morrinsville to Te Aroha cycleway should be a priority as there is no cycleway in Morrinsville at all.

Things we want to investigate/Looking further ahead/Things we're compromising on:

Other comments:
Having recently moved into this district, it appears that the majority of the finance has been spent in Matamata.
Please give serious consideration to maintaining a better balance on spending accross the entire district.
The "nice to have" projects should be parked for the next decade while infrastructure is upgraded and/or replaced.
