Tony Bonne has won his fourth term as Whakatane District mayor.
He says his top priority as mayor is "residential growth", including a lifestyle retirement village which he's been working on since 2010.
"We've been losing too many of our people to Tauranga which has got a lot of lifestyle retirement villages," Mr Bonne said.
Reflecting on the reduced winning margin this election, he said communicating more with the public could be a solution "to make sure they know what we're doing."
