What is your vision for waiheke?

Now that\'s a big question!
Development is now centred around sustainable local initiatives for renewable energy for houses and transport, food production, business and low impact tourism.  Public transport systems are greatly improved to the point where people are happy to leave their cars at home to save time and money.  On demand shuttles appear when you request them and take you where you want to go paid for by yearly passes.
Local businesses are performing to high standards and people are buying local as never before encouraging local employment.
Large scale developments have become a thing of the past because the world financial climate has moved away from an endless growth mentality towards a new view of sustainable living and world populaiton has started to stabliise.  Resources in general are becoming in short supply and people have become very aware of the need to recycle resources, \'not waste\'.

Far fewer people are needing to commute to Auckland because they are finding work on the island and the using the internet for work.
Septic systems have moved to composting and biological systems that require much less water and the local council has changed building regulation to make this a requirment for new buidlings.  Because of this effluent disposal systems have become smaller and more efficient and problems of run off are decreasing markedly.
Ferry services are now nationalised and fares are set by users to reflect the true cost of running the service.
The Super \"City\" is now called the Super Region and the Local Board has 10 members who are heavily involved with incorporating the expertise of the community and its projects into the budgetting and planning process.
I wont go on but you get the idea.
