Consultation

Have your say and help shape our place. We provide opportunities throughout the year for you to give feedback and participate in Council's decision-making processes.

Southern Water Done Well

Our community must decide on the future delivery of drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater services.

We’ve partnered with Clutha District, Central Otago District, and Gore District to form Southern Water Done Well. Together, we aim to find sustainable, efficient, and compliant solutions for our water services.

We've also modelled a Joint CCO with Timaru, Mackenzie and Waimate.

Feedback on new dogs on-lead areas

As part of the new By Law, we're trialing allowing dogs in the Oamaru CBD, North End Shops and on Harbour Street. We're running a survey for the community to tell us what they think about these changes, which Council will review in July 2025.

Proposed District Plan

Waitaki’s Proposed District Plan is our first fully revised planning rulebook in more than 10 years. The plan deals with the major land-use and environmental issues facing the district. Public submissions on the Proposed District Plan are open 1 March 2025 to 16 May 2025.
