As well as Mayor, Little is the chair of the Wellington Mayoral Forum - a group composed of the mayors of all the councils in Greater Wellington and the Regional Council chair.
Wellington Mayor Andrew Little has set a referendum as his preference for how best to handle local government amalgamation, but what is a referendum, and would it be the best way forward?
The clock continues to tick on the government's amalgamation ultimatum, which in early May gave councils three months to submit reorganisation plans under the 'Head Start' approach.
But Little has said the 9 August deadline is not enough time for residents to make a major decision, and now is calling for councils to be allowed to hold referenda on the matter.
