Ruapehu District Council prepares submissions in response to proposed legislation or law changes. Submissions are made on a wide range of issues that may affect the wellbeing of the district.
When preparing a submission, we will consider:
- How the proposed changes affect our communities.
- How the proposed changes affect council operation.
- Alternative solutions we think would be beneficial.
We will often submit in support of submissions prepared by local government member organisations such as Taituarā and Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ).
Submissions are regarded as an important way to ensure the views of Council and Ruapehu’s residents are advocated at a district, regional and national level.
Once Council makes a submission, it is considered, along with other submissions by Ministry Officials, Committees of Parliament, or other decision makers, depending on the nature of the consultation.
