Council Resolves To Respond To Central Government On ReformTaupō District Council has today expressed its strong opposition to being included in a Head Start outline proposal for a Western Waikato Unitary Authority. The proposal is being put forward by Waikato, Waipā and South Waikato district councils but without Taupō’s consent. Today’s session followed a meeting on 28 July where Taupō District Council resolved to respond to the Central Government’s Head Start process by expressing its opposition to mandatory council amalgamation and frustration at the short timeframes. “None of these options currently before us, including the Western Waikato, are ready or right for Taupō, right here right now. It’s a request for more time to pursue the right Head Start.
