Wairarapa Proposal Submitted To Shape The Region's FutureWairarapa is unique. That is the key message in the Wairarapa Unitary Authority proposal submitted through the Government’s Head Start process, part of its Simplifying Local Government plans. Masterton and Carterton District Councils believe a Wairarapa Unitary Authority provides the best opportunity to achieve those outcomes for the region. "This is about putting forward the strongest possible proposal for Wairarapa and ensuring our region has the opportunity to shape its own future." The councils acknowledged South Wairarapa District Council's decision to support a Wellington-Wairarapa model and thanked elected members for their engagement throughout the process.
