Re-elected KaikÅura District Mayor, Craig Mackle said a mix of old knowledge and new views will ensure the community is well represented by the newly-named Council.
Mr Mackle (pictured) secured the Mayoral position for what will be his third term at the helm.
“I am honoured to be your elected Mayor for a third term and I’m very happy with the preliminary results,” he said.
“The community had a significant number of candidates to choose from, and we had one of the highest voter turn outs in the country. It’s great to have the continuity of the ‘old guards’ with their institutional knowledge to hand down, combined with a fresh view from the three newly elected members.
“This is a Council that will bring a breath of fresh air anchored with the steadfastness of before. We have a good representation across the board for the community.
“I am really looking forward to the next three years. Weâll be working hard to make sure our fingers remain on the pulse and that no balls are dropped as your elected members,” he said.
