Trustees have pledged to keep working hard to ensure that the referendum in March 2015 reflects the huge level of positive support that they have received from the community. “We’re really encouraged that supporters come from all walks of life, all ages and interests,” says Barry Trass, trustee, “it’s just amazing that people on the street really understand the benefits that HWMAC will bring to Whangarei. And so disappointing that many of our councillors don’t.”
