Key outcomes from the Extra Ordinary Council meeting 30 July 2024
Please note that these notes are informal notes on the key outcomes from the meeting. The formal minutes and official record will be endorsed at the next council meeting.
Adoption of the initial proposal for the council’s representation review for public consultation. Public consultation will be from 6 August to 7 September with hearings (if required) in mid-September. Councillors voted for Option 5 - four councillors elected from two general wards, and three councillors elected from two Māori wards. It was noted that this option does not comply with the +/-10% rule and would require a Local Government Commission for determination.
You can read about each of the options and view the maps associated with this in the agenda. More details, maps and consultation questions will be available from 6 August on the council’s Connect | Hono Mai website.
