Hutt and Porirua councils put Wellington super city back on the table
The idea of combining the Wellington region's councils into one large entity has been thrown around for over a decade. Photo: 123rf Hutt City Council will consider whether to add a non-binding referendum at this year's election asking for residents' thoughts on amalgamating Wellington's councils. The idea of combining the Wellington region's councils into one large entity has been thrown around for over a decade. In 2015, the Local Government Commission binned such a plan . But Hutt City Council and Porirua City Council have put some consideration into a revival of the idea. Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry said he would bring a decision on whether to add a non-binding referendum question to this year's local election ballot at a council meeting next month. It would read: "Should Hutt City Council work with councils in Wellington, Upper Hutt, Porirua and the Wellington Regional Council to explore the possibility of creating one single council, that combines relevant services and functions regionally, while keeping appropriate local services and decision making local?" It came after Porirua City Council agreed to ask the same question as part in its election ballot at a meeting yesterday. Porirua Mayor Anita Baker said they decided to do the referendum because they were already having to do a Māori ward referendum at this year's election anyway. A law introduced last year required councils with Māori wards that were established without a referendum to hold a binding poll at this year's election. Baker said it would cost $20,000 to do the amalgamation referendum alongside the Māori ward referendum compared to $150,000 for doing it by itself. "We keep on having the same old questions but no one ever asks the people that actually matter and our residents matter." She hoped it would also increase voter turnout in the city. Barry said that it was a "good thing" to ask residents their thoughts on the idea. "If our community comes back and says no we are not interested then I think that can help settle the matter." Barry told RNZ he received questions about the idea particularly from the business community and those that interact with the council regularly. He said that was often due to different rules that were in place in different parts of the region. Voting at this year's local body election will start 9 September and end 11 October.

Oulton Park: Tributes paid to Owen Jenner and Shane Richardson after they died while racing
Fellow New Zealand rider Morgan McLaren-Wood, who suffered minor injuries in the crash, paid tribute to Richardson on social media. "Struggling to find the words for what happened," he said. "Rest in peace Shane and Owen. My heart goes out to both of their families during this heartbreaking time." New Zealand Hutt City councillor Brady Dyer posted on Facebook: "Shane was proud to be from Wainuiomata and was admired both locally and abroad for his skill and passion. "This is a heartbreaking loss, and I know many in our community will be feeling it deeply." Fellow New Zealand rider Cormac Buchanan said Shane was "truly one of the best people I ever had the privilege of sharing the track with". Writing on Instagram, Buchanan said: "You never failed to put a smile on all of our faces. You were someone I could look up to and learn from and I am so lucky to have had your guidance in my first year in the UK. "I cherish all of the track walks with you and Damo, the hard battles we had, bumping bars and swapping paint. I'm grateful to have been able to consider you a competitor, rival, and a friend. I always felt your support no matter what the situation, race, or outcome was".
