Wellington leaders considering amalgamation of councils

From Midday Report, 12:45 pm on 18 March 2024

Wellington leaders are considering amalgamating the region's councils but say a super city is unlikely.

The Wellington Regional Leadership Committee will meet on Tuesday and will begin discussions about amalgamation, following recommendations all councils reorganise.

This means the Wellington region's 9 territorial councils could merge into three.

Wellington Regional Leadership Committee deputy chair Daran Ponter spoke to Charlotte Cook.
