Federated Farmers submission to Whangarei District Councils representation review

Federated Farmers have submitted to Whangarei District Council on their representation review 2021. Councils’ initial proposal looked good for Rural Whangarei including a Wards based system for the general population and the two Māori Councillors taken from At Large. After deliberation Council decided to deviate from their initial proposal to have all councillors taken from At Large. Federated Farmers will join the appeal process as we have concerns around rural representation being lost from the district.
