Poll: Should Southland and Gore District Councils merge?
Former Southland Federated Farmers president Allan Baird has called on the Southland District Council to consider a merger with Gore District Council.
While the division of the district into five wards was a reasonable approach in the short-term, Baird said it was an "anomaly" that not all of the Southland Province was represented.
Having 12 councillors responsible for the whole of the Southland province would be more appropriate, Baird said.

Whip up a larger-than-life nutcracker and have it standing guard to greet guests this Christmas. This is an ideal opportunity to repurpose last year’s baubles, leftover Resene paint testpots and leftover materials from previous projects.

Poll: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages?
🎉 Exciting news for Southland! We’re getting a brand new museum – the Te Unua Museum of Southland!
⏳ The not-so-great news? It’s still a little way off. The Invercargill City Council has decided to wait until the museum is fully finished in late 2027 before opening, instead of opening parts early at extra cost.
We want to hear from you: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages, even if it costs more, or is waiting for the full experience the better option?
