Pre-election report 2022
Regional Council responsibilities: 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, 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.
As nominations are received we will upload the name of the candidate and the constituency they are running for in the table below.
