Waikato regional councillors have agreed on their committee structure and membership.
“We’ve spent some time getting to know each other over the past month and I am confident we have fairly distributed the workload across the councillors,” said council chairperson, Paula Southgate, during a meeting in Hamilton last week.
“In making our decisions, we have given consideration to appropriate geographic representation on these committees, and a fair and democratic process,” Ms Southgate said.
