Details of what duties our community boards will carry out are finally available, just a few days before nominations close for board candidates. There are to be two

southern Ruapehu community boards, one for Waiouru and one for the Waimarino. At Wednesday's Waimarino District Council meeting Mayor Garrick Workman told councillors of the legislative provisions
