Notifications

Tauranga City Council has confirmed that it has been notified by Local Government Minister, the Hon Nanaia Mahuta, of the intent to appoint a commission to perform and exercise the council’s responsibilities, duties and powers.
 
Acting Mayor Tina Salisbury said the Council would respond to the notification by 18 December and anticipated that the Minister would make a final decision early in the new year.
 
She said that if the appointment is confirmed, a Commission would take over all matters relating to governance, effectively replacing and taking the role of the council’s elected members.
 
“Our community can have confidence that council’s full range of essential services and activities will continue to be delivered professionally, effectively and without interruption,” she said. “That will include progressing the preparation of our critical 2021-31 long-term plan, ready for consultation with the community early next year.”
