Resignation sparks council by-election
Carterton District Council is holding a by-election following the resignation of Councillor Steffen Bertram, effective from 1 February 2021.
Bertram was elected onto council during the 2019 elections and was a member on the audit and risk committee, policy and strategy committee, Rural Travel Fund Committee, Arts, Culture and Heritage group, the Economic Development Advisory group, Wairarapa Library Services committee and the Carterton and District Returned and Services Memorial Trust.
Bertram said COVID-19 has seen his workload increase in his central government role, making it increasingly difficult to balance his work and council responsibilities.
A by-election must be held within 89 days. More information will be available on the council website in the coming weeks.
