The Year in Review
Another year gone by and with reflection comes appreciation of the privilege and opportunities afforded as Mayor of our District.
More than rates, rubbish, and rats.
What has become more evident in my position as Mayor is the work and support undertaken by Council for no other reason than for the public good.
Part of a Greater Council
Speaking previously of the research which indicates amalgamation of local government authorities has not necessarily saved money but produced a higher quality of output, I now believe both must be achievable albeit with slight financial efficiencies.
After all how can the prospect of one district plan, one rate demand and collection system, employment contracts with one maybe two authorities not save some costs.
