Local Government Welcomes Transport Bill
Local Government Welcomes Transport Bill
President of
Local Government New Zealand, Basil Morrison today welcomed
the introduction of the Government’s Land Transport
Management Bill.
“We welcome the introduction of this Bill and congratulate Paul Swain for his efforts in bringing us to this point. We look forward to working through the document and consulting with our members to establish our position on the Bill,” said Mr Morrison.
The first opportunity to do this will be on Thursday 5 December 2002 when Local Government New Zealand holds a Transport Forum (closed to the media) where attendees will hear from the Minister of Transport and have an opportunity to discuss the Bill.
Over 120 members have registered for the Transport forum, indicating just how important the issue of transport is to councils throughout the country.
“Given the role
local government plays in the transport sector it is vital
that we take every opportunity over the next few months to
discuss the Bill and ensure our submission to the Select
Committee is a fair representation of the sector’s views,”
said Mr
Morrison.
