Eighteen proposals have been submitted to the government as part of the Head Start local government reform initiative. Chris Bishop, Minister for RMA Reform, stated that the initiative was created because local councils sought opportunities to simplify and streamline local government. Officials will assess these proposals, and Cabinet plans to consider them for detailed design and final decisions in September.
