WAIMATE COUNCIL TO HOST FIRST MEETING AT MARAE
Waimate district councillors are gearing up for a taste of culture as they prepare for their first ever council meeting on a marae.
The idea was initiated by Waimate District Council deputy mayor Sharyn Cain after she attended a young elected members local government retreat in November 2017.
The announcement follows a statement by Waimate mayor Craig Rowley in which he said te reo and sign language translators would now be available for anyone presenting submissions to the Waimate District Council 2018-28 Long Term Plan.
