Why Anne Tolley wants new faces on Tauranga's next council | Q+A 2024

A number of the candidates in Tauranga's upcoming local elections are former elected officials. Former Local Government Minister Anne Tolley says while it's good old faces are putting their hands up once more, she'd prefer to see new blood on the next council. It comes as Tolley wraps up her time as the chair of the Tauranga Commissioners, who were brought in to replace the city's "dysfunctional" elected council in 2021. She says bringing professional Commissioners to Tauranga has been good for the city. Tolley adds other local authorities could benefit from a hybrid model where a council could be made up of both elected representatives and appointed professionals, with a balance favouring councillors chosen by the community.
