“Each councillor will progress projects in their portfolio and be the spokesperson for that area,” Mayor Foster says.
“They will take a strategic and policy leadership role in their area. Each councillor will have to work in a collaborative manner with other portfolio leaders, and council officers, to achieve their objectives.”
Mayor Foster said he had consulted with each councillor before allocating them a portfolio which matched their experience and interests.
“Many councillors will continue their good work in the portfolios they had in the previous triennium. The six new councillors have shown keenness to get on with the job in their areas.”
