Cr Ewan Wilson had agreed to take on the role of chairman of the hearings and engagement committee from Gallagher, who will become his deputy. “I’m sure Cr Wilson’s analytical mind and commissioner training will be well suited to the role.” Wilson will also be appointed as a member of the new Te Huia Governance Forum, which has previously operated as a working group under the auspices of the Waikato Regional Council. Meanwhile, Cr Kesh Naidoo-Rauf would join the Hamilton City Council/Waikato-Tainui Co-Governance Forum, “where we will greatly value her considered approach and fresh thinking”.
