These are important gaps we must fill in prior to making final decisions.</p> 371 372 373 374<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âParticular areas that require further development include ensuring fair and effective representation with streamlined governance, and the transfer and delivery of regional functions.</p> 375 376 377 378<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Rather than asking councils to commit further time and resources to finalise proposals now, the Government will now work to fill in these gaps over the next few months.

There is more detailed modelling to do around how a future council could operate, including governance and representation, services and finances.</p> 401 402 403 404<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Central Hawkeâs Bay Mayor Will Foley said: âAffordability matters enormously to our communities ̷
4040; We canât expect better outcomes for ratepayers if we simply keep doing things the way we always have. Our proposal for a single unitary authority wasnât arrived at lightly. It reflected our assessment of the model that offered the greatest potential to deliver effective, affordable local government services while maintaining strong local representation and decision-making.</p> 405 406 407 408<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âThe extra time gives us the opportunity to test that further, strengthen the modelling and work with our communities to make sure any future model genuinely delivers for them.â</p> 409 410 411 412<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This delay aside, under the Governmentâs legislated Simplifying Local Government reforms, there will be no regional council elections in 2028, so our councils indicate that work to plan the transfer of those functions will continue.</p> 413 414 415 416<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No doubt councils across New Zealand will double down on their pursuit of clear signals from Labour and other parties on whether/how local government reform should proceed were there to be a regime change.</p> 417 418 419 420<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Historically, Labour has not been a champion of localism, ditching local elected Health Board and advocating major trans-regional consolidation of water services as part of their â3 Watersâ reorganisation. Comments by Labourâs former local government minister Kieran McAnulty and more recently by Local government spokesperson Tangi Utikere have suggested Labourâs concern with Head Start would rest more around its pace than its direction.</p> 421<div class='heateorSssClear'></div><div class='heateor_sss_sharing_container heateor_sss_horizontal_sharing' data-heateor-sss-href='https://baybuzz.co.nz/govt-kicks-amalgamation-to-post-election-touch/'><div class='heateor_sss_sharing_title' style="font-weight:bold" >Share</div><div class="heateor_sss_sharing_ul"><a aria-label="Facebook" class="heateor_sss_facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbaybuzz.co.nz%2Fgovt-kicks-amalgamation-to-post-election-touch%2F" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="font-size:32px!important;box-shadow:none;display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle"><span class="heateor_sss_svg" style="background-color:#0765FE;width:35px;height:35px;border-radius:999px;display:inline-block;opacity:1;float:left;font-size:32px;box-shadow:none;display:inline-block;font-size:16px;padding:0 4px;vertical-align:middle;background-repeat:repeat;overflow:hidden;padding:0;cursor:pointer;box-sizing:content-box"><svg style="display:block;border-radius:999px;" focusable="false" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 32 32"><path fill="#fff" d="M28 16c0-6.627-5.373-12-12-12S4 9.373 4 16c0 5.628 3.875 10.35 9.101 11.647v-7.98h-2.474V16H13.1v-1.58c0-4.085 1.849-5.978 5.859-5.978.76 0 2.072.15 2.608.298v3.325c-.283-.03-.775-.045-1.386-.045-1.967 0-2.728.745-2.728 2.683V16h3.92l-.673 3.667h-3.247v8.245C23.395 27.195 28 22.135 28 16Z"></path></svg></span></a><a aria-label="Pinterest" class="heateor_sss_button_pinterest" href="https://baybuzz.co.nz/govt-kicks-amalgamation-to-post-election-touch/" onclick="event.preventDefault();javascript:void( (function() {var e=document.createElement('script' );e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript' );e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8' );e.setAttribute('src','//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());" title="Pinterest" rel="noopener" style="font-size:32px!important;box-shadow:none;display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle"><span class="heateor_sss_svg heateor_sss_s__default heateor_sss_s_pinterest" style="background-color:#cc2329;width:35px;height:35px;border-radius:999px;display:inline-block;opacity:1;float:left;font-size:32px;box-shadow:none;display:inline-block;font-size:16px;padding:0 4px;vertical-align:middle;background-repeat:repeat;overflow:hidden;padding:0;cursor:pointer;box-sizing:content-box"><svg style="display:block;border-radius:999px;" focusable="false" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100%" height="100%" viewB
