Kaipara District Council is calling for as many people as possible to join its newly developed People’s Panel that will help to direct future decisions.
The panel will comment on policies, developments and services through surveys. In return, Council will report on the feedback to show how it influences decisions.
Kaipara Mayor Jason Smith says he is hoping for at least 1000 members to sign up from across the region.
“I found examples of this down country, and I’m delighted to introduce it to the north,” Mr Smith says.
“The more of us that join the People’s Panel, the better it will be.”
Meanwhile, Council has voted to implement its first proposal on boundary representation arrangements.
The new structure will see Kaipara have four wards with two councillors each and one mayor.
Anyone who made a submission on this structure is able to make an appeal against the decision, but only in relation to matters mentioned in their submission.
