🤔 Tell us what you think! 💬

5️⃣0️⃣ About 50 people have sent us a huge range of feedback so far on whether there are too many councils on the West Coast.

📅 The Government guidance gives councils until 9 August to submit an outline proposal about local government reform for the West Coast.

👉 The guidance makes it clear proposals should focus on fewer, larger, unitary-style models, where district and regional council responsibilities are brought together in some form.

🛤 The August proposal will be high-level, with a credible pathway, identifying key options, and indicating what further work would be needed if the proposal progresses to the next phase.

👩🏼‍💻 You have until 6 July to submit feedback via https://haveyoursay.westcoastcouncils.co.nz/
