Thank you to all the Guardians of the Bays (GOTB) members who attended our hybrid meeting held at the Strathmore Park Community Centre and online on 15 May 2024. Elected members are:
- Yvonne Weeber – Chair
- Jeff Weir – Executive member
- Joanna Colton – Treasurer
It was agreed that GOTB would become an incorporated society under the new Incorporated Societies Act 2022. Look out for an email to members on a proposed timeline and discussion on a new constitution to fit the new Act. A new constitution will be brought for ratification at the 2025 AGM.
It was agreed that while GOTB had submitted a neutral submission on selling the Wellington City Council’s Airport shares, we would not make an oral submission on the Wellington City Council Long Term Plan. This decision was made as GOTB members had a broad cross-section of views on the sale of the shares. The debate between Wellington City Councillors on selling the Wellington Airport shares suggests other options should be considered.
If you want to be involved and support discussions on our constitution, have a passion for specific Wellington Airport issues become a member of GOTB, and get in touch by emailing guardiansofthebays@gmail.com.
