Mayoral Forum

The Mayoral Forum is made up of the mayors, supported by the chief executives, of all Canterbury councils. The Forum’s role in the Canterbury Water Management Strategy is to represent the full Canterbury region as steward of the strategy.

Under its Charter the Canterbury Mayoral Forum can co-opt others to work on specific projects. The Canterbury Water Management Strategy Steering Group is an example of this.
