Council confirmed the meeting dates for all full Council and Committee meetings for the calendar year 2026.

Chief Financial Officer Wiki Cortesi presented the Financial Service Report, informing Council on the financial performance of Council to 31 October 2025.

The Capital Portfolio Monitoring Report was presented to update Council on the performance of the overall capital portfolio and key projects.

The total capital expenditure for this financial year to 30 September 2025 is $8.4 million, 14% of the total approved capital budget. There’s another $25 million in contractual commitments.

There were also three motions submitted by Cr Latinovic for consideration by Council.

A procedural motion by Cr Lee was moved to postpone discussions to a later date to allow for consultation with staff, and so elected members can take a more informed decision when Cr Latinovic’s motions come up for debate.

There were also a number of items discussed in the public excluded section, due to commercially sensitive content. This included the awarding of contract for the Tīrau Waste Water Treatment Plant, the gifting of the building that sits in the Memorial Sports Ground to the Council and the disposal of an accessway in Tokoroa.
