A mayor doubts removing wellbeing measures from the Local Government Act will change much.  

The Government's removing references to social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being in a push to get councils to focus on core services.  

Council performance will be benchmarked and a yearly report published.  

Local Government New Zealand Vice President Campbell Barry told Heather du Plessis Allan the four wellbeing pillars have come and gone two or three times in 14 years.  

He says exercises like benchmarking and looking at how they can be more transparent makes more sense, and will make a tangible difference.
