Key Nelson Policies

Hands Up for Nelson will focus on:

Economic Development
The key to a prosperous region is a thriving and sustainable economy. If elected the Hands Up team will actively encourage and champion the economic development of Nelson/Tasman. We will be proactive in maintaining and where possible expanding our region's business base. More...

Council Culture
Council is a governing body - accordingly it should function like any other governing body of an organisation or ‘board’. Setting policy is its most important function. Hands Up candidates will undertake a rigorous review of Council's current processes and performances. At the same time we will review customer delivery practices to ensure a high standard of customer satisfaction. More...

Working Together
Hands Up candidates will work together with energy, passion and commitment to make Nelson a better place for today and tomorrow. Critical to that aim will be Nelson and Tasman embracing a culture of working 'together for a better future.' More...

Embracing Sustainability
Awareness of environmental impacts and the promotion of sustainable practice will underpin all Council activity. We will lead by example to ensure our region is protected and enhanced for future generations. More...

Development of Community Infrastructure
Hands Up candidates will follow the example set by the founders of Nelson City by establishing and maintaining amenities that will serve our community now and into the future. We will ensure core utility services keep pace with Nelson's needs and we will develop community facilities to the highest standard. More...
