Local Government New Zealand is making its support known for four-year terms extending to them.
The Government's proposing to keep the standard three-year term, but allow it to be broadened if the opposition of the day is better represented at select committees.
Local Government New Zealand President & Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton told Mike Hosking it makes sense for councils to adjust as well.
He says there's only one good year for doing work, with the other two disrupted by elections and setting up.
