Gore District Mayor Ben Bell joins us to break down the Government’s ‘Head Start’ pathway — what it is, why it’s happening, and what it could mean for our community. It’s early days with no decisions locked in, but we unpack why Gore may need to work alongside other councils, what terms like “unitary authority” actually mean, and how this process fits with the wider Local Government Commission review. We also dive into the five potential options on the table — from a single Southland council to more rural-focused models — plus what it could mean for local voice, rates, and services. Most importantly, how Gore makes sure it doesn’t get lost in the mix, and how you can have your say before submissions close mid-July.
