Council To Consider Options For The Future Of Horowhenua Under Local Government ReformHorowhenua District Council will this week consider a range of options as it determines how the district responds to the Government's Head Start pathway for local government reform. While the Government's Head Start pathway has given councils a relatively short timeframe, we've been determined to use that time well. We've invested in independent analysis, spoken with our communities, engaged with neighbouring councils and explored a range of options. Should Council support progressing a Head Start proposal, further work would be required before any formal submission is made to Government. The Head Start process provides for detailed design, engagement and Government assessment before any final decisions are made.
