Policy & advocacy
We champion the things that matter most as one strong national voice.
We act in the interests of councils/kaunihera across the country, reflecting the broad range of issues impacting communities and championing the common concerns with one strong national voice — delivering a consistent message that’s impossible to ignore.
Our relationships mean early involvement and influence in policy work, and our platform gives a coordinated local voice in the media to ensure your stories are heard loud and clear.
