Palmerston North City Council

Every day Palmerston North City Council makes decisions that have an impact on you – from the services that make your life easier like rubbish bag collections and recycling, to how Palmy grows and what it will look like in another 30 years. Decisions in some areas, like transport and water, can carry a hefty price tag and have intergenerational impacts. Council staff take direction from the elected members and put things into action. From potholes to parks, libraries to drinking water, we're involved with it all. Collecting your rubbish bags and emptying your recycling, keeping your streets lit and with safe footpaths, and providing community centres are all in our large scope of work. If you spot a roaming dog, or perhaps you’re after a building consent, you can give us a call, too.
