Our regional and local councils must make decisions of major consequence to the well-being of Hawke’s Bay residents. Sometimes the stakes are huge!

1. Introducing pay parking in Havelock North
2. Extending the airport runway
3. Allocating water rights

5. Developing Ocean Beach
6. Developing anything
