On top of taking over the functions of regional councils, the new boards will be tasked with spearheading regional reorganisation, with the goal of unifying services and amagamating district councils where possible.
The government has announced plans to abolish elected Regional Councils and replace them with new Combined Territories Boards.
These boards are to be made up of mayors from the region’s city and district councils.
The Opportunities Party has rebranded as the Opportunity Party.
Their new leader is Qiulae Wong, a 37-year-old sustainability consultant from Auckland.
