Responsibilities
The Ruapehu District Council is responsible for giving effect to these purposes and for performing the duties, and exercising the rights, conferred on it by the Act and any other enactment.
The activities undertaken by the Council include core services such as local roading, water and wastewater services, solid waste collection, libraries, and reserves. It also has responsibilities for governance, investment, economic development, community wellbeing and quality of life, commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi, cultural diversity and accessibility, and corporate support activities.
The Local Government Act 2002 provides the Council with full capacity to carry on or undertake any activity or business, subject to it complying with the law. Our Long Term Plan contains information about all of the Council’s activities, over a period of 10 years.
