Jim Boult to stand down as Queenstown Lakes mayor
Queenstown Lakes mayor Jim Boult has announced he will not be standing for re-election this year.
Boult has been in the role for two terms and says he made the decision to stand down after lengthy consideration and discussions with his family.
He had enjoyed his time leading the district, he said.
“My only regret is that some of our goals have been derailed by the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Nik Kiddle, who lost the 2019 election to Boult by about 2000 votes, said he had not yet made a decision on whether he would run again.
Two-term deputy mayor and three-term councillor Calum MacLeod, of Wānaka, said he was not planning to run for the mayoralty and was also unsure if he would run for council again.
