Purpose of BOPLASS:
BOPLASS was established by the nine local authorities in the Bay of Plenty/Gisborne region to foster collaboration in the delivery of services, particularly back-office or support services. BOPLASS investigates, develops and delivers shared services and joint procurement on behalf of the participating councils, maximising cost savings and developing opportunities for sharing of services.
The shareholding councils are: Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Gisborne District Council, Kawerau District Council, Ōpōtiki District Council, Rotorua Lakes Council, Taupō District Council, Tauranga City Council, Western Bay of Plenty District Council and Whakatāne District Council.
To ensure synergy between the company activities and Council’s shareholding activities, the directors are also the Chief Executives of their respective shareholding councils.
The Board also includes an independent Chair, appointed with specific skills and knowledge to add incremental value. This appointment brings experience and specialist skills that are complementary to those held by the other Directors.
