9. Liaison
The Board has continued to have a positive relationship with Greater Wellington: The Regional Council through its co-opted member Councillor Hugh Barr. The Board is appreciative of Councillor Barr's commitment to attend meetings and values the insight into Council perspectives on agenda items. This contributes to a close association with the Council on the many matters of mutual interest.
The Chairperson has continued to represent the Board on the Mount Bruce Wildlife Centre Trust Board. It is a very useful and informative way to keep in touch.
Board minutes and agendas have continued to be distributed throughout the Board's district as well as to neighbouring conservation boards. This is an important way of communicating with people and organisations that have a shared interest in conservation values and ensures feedback is continuing.
