KAIKŌURA AND MARLBOROUGH DISTRICT COUNCILS SUBMIT JOINT HEADSTART PROPOSAL
Today, Marlborough District Council and Kaikōura District Council have formally submitted a joint Head Start Proposal to the Government's Simplifying Local Government programme.
The proposal seeks government approval to move to the detailed design phase and explores the establishment of an extended unitary authority for Marlborough and Kaikōura starting from 2028.
It builds on the strong connections between our communities while aiming to simplify governance, strengthen planning and infrastructure delivery, and maintain a strong local voice for Kaikōura.💥💪
The proposal and an accompanying letter were submitted to Ministers Chris Bishop and Simon Watts today. We now await feedback from government before the end of September as to whether are proposal has been successful or not.
Thank you to all those that contributed to the surveys and provided valuable feedback for consideration into our thinking for the proposal.🙌🙏
