## Resource

Kevin Lavery, newly appointed board member for Marlborough Waters, has stepped down before the organization’s first official meeting — citing a packed schedule with leadership roles in Tauranga and Hamilton. Despite his departure, council mayor Nadine Taylor says the team is ready to roll, with four experienced board members already in place. The new water services body, set to launch in July 2027, prioritizes affordability, reliability, and transparency — and for now, no replacement is being sought as the board gets its footing.
