Tō tātou rohe – taiao ora, tangata ora, mauri ora. Our place – a healthy environment where people are thriving. The most recent local government elections took place in October 2022.
We play a core role in the management of the natural resources in the Manawatū-Whanganui Region - land, air, water and climate. This spans from water monitoring of freshwater across the region, to flood management, public transport, biodiversity and biosecurity. Horizons plays a varied and integral role in the environment, if the future of our region is important to you then standing or voting in the 2022 local elections should be too.
