amalgamation as the Government has only recently notified its
intentions regarding reforms to the Local Government sector. The
details of changes proposed to the future form and function of Local
Government will not be finalised until later in the 2012/2013 year, at
the earliest. Until this occurs Council will continue to operate under
existing Local Government legislation. Any consultation with the

undertaken separately from the Annual Planning or Long Term Plan
