Wayne Guppy re-elected as Wellington Regional Mayoral Forum Chair
Upper Hutt Mayor, Wayne Guppy has been re-elected to serve a fourth term as Chair for the Wellington Region Mayoral Forum
UPPER HUTT, Wellington NZ, 06 JAN 2012—The Wellington Region Mayoral Forum saw Wayne Guppy re-elected as Chair following three years in the role. Mr Guppy’s continued appointment comes amid a number of important discussions that will take place over the next few years. This includes how the continued regional approach to economic development can lift performance for the area, shared services and collaboration between councils, and the future governance of the Wellington region.
“It is an honour and privilege to continue serving the Mayoral Forum,” said Mr Guppy. “As before, I will continue to bring my determination and resolve to see this group meet its objectives and produce real value for the people of this region through the way that we work together as a team, and the cooperation we can produce between councils which, in these economic times, is proving to be a very effective stewardship of our resources.”
“This forum has worked well over the years, providing a platform for increased cooperation between our councils including the regional approach to emergency management—now cemented—along with the regional approach to the Waste Minimisation Strategy,” said Mr Guppy. “I am confident that we can continue to work through all these issues to achieve an outcome that provides a real and measurable benefit for our combined community.”
