Former Hurunui Mayor Gary Jackson is returning to the council table.
Mr Jackson made a last minute decision to stand in the south ward when there were just two nominations for four positions, just days out from nominations closing.
He won one of four seats in the Hurunui District Council’s south ward in Saturday’s (October 8) local government election.
He was mayor from 2004 to 2010 before stepping down from the council.
‘‘My wife passed away earlier this year and I was searching for what is my new life.
‘‘My daughter said ‘you have a passion for the district’ and she thought it might give me a sense of purpose.
‘‘Mayor Marie Black has done a great job given the pressure the council is under with Three Waters reform and I just want to be a team player at the table.’’
Jackson said he hoped to reinvigorate Amberley’s growth during his time on the council.
‘‘Kaiapoi and Rangiora have continued to make great steps forward, but we’ve lost a little bit of ground.’’
He will be joined by new councillor Vanessa McPherson and sitting councillors Robbie Bruerton and Pauline White.
Mrs McPherson said the new council team had ‘‘a good combination of skills and talents’’.
She said she had a long list of goals she wanted to achieve.
‘‘Honestly it’s early days, but I have a pretty clear vision of how the community needs to grow on its own terms and it seems a lot of people agree with that.’’
She also believed local government elections needed to be ‘‘reinvigorated’’ to encourage more people to vote.
Deputy mayor Vincent Daly and Fiona Harris also return in the east ward.
New councillors Tom Davies and David Hislop were elected unopposed in the west ward, joining sitting councillors Karen Armstrong and Ross Barnes.
Mayor Marie Black was also re-elected unopposed.
Black said she was looking forward to ‘‘building a strong, cohesive council’’.
She was due to meet with councillors individually this week to discuss their goals and aspirations, ahead of the council induction next Thursday, October 20.
‘‘I think it’s going to be a great journey and we’re hoping for less Covid impact on our community over the next three years.’’
Covid-19 was unheard of when Black was sworn in as mayor back in 2019 and the government’s reform agenda was only in its ‘‘infancy’’.
Three Waters and Resource Management Act reform and the future of local government loom as major issues over the next three years.
The deputy mayor will be elected by the council and councillors will decide whether to adopt Tuesday as the council meeting day at the October 20 meeting.

Climate change and fresh water regulations loom as priorities for North Canterbury’s regional councillors.
Incumbent Environment Canterbury councillors Claire McKay and Grant Edge were re-elected in the North Canterbury/Ōpukepuke Constituency in Saturday’s election.
Both said working on the new integrated plan, which needed to be operative in 2024, would be the major issue of the next council term.
The new plan will integrate the government’s National Policy Statement on freshwater with the regional policy statement, the coastal environmental plan and the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan.
‘‘It’s critical that we involve the community in that discussion and partner with Ngāi Tahu as Mana Whenua,’’ McKay said.
She said a priority would be having discussions with councils around how to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
‘‘We’ve got to start talking now.
‘‘We can’t wait for something to happen and then in 10 years time think that we should have done something sooner.
‘‘We’ve got to have some alignment around who is going to pay and where we can live and work.’’
She said the recent flood events had shown the need to think about farming close to rivers and water ways.
Edge said climate change was top of the agenda and ‘‘how communities deal with storm events and flooding’’ in the future.
Urban development and transport were other priorities, particularly with planning related to meeting emissions targets.
‘‘For me one of the big issues will be taking a closer look at solutions for catchments around rivers and land use activity.
‘‘I think we can be a bit smarter about how we deal with those issues.’’
The 16 ECan councillors will be sworn in at the inaugural meeting on October 27, when the chairperson and deputy chairperson will be elected.
Two Ngāi Tahu councillors will be among those councillors, following the passing of the Canterbury Regional Council (Ngāi Tahu Representation) Bill in Parliament in August.
Edge said the inclusion of the Ngāi Tahu councillors with full voting rights was ‘‘a maturing of democracy’’ and a recognition of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
The Ngāi Tahu appointees are Iaean Cranwell (Kāti Irakehu, Kāti Kurī, Kāti Makō) and Tutehounuku ‘‘Nuk’’ Korako (Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Ngāti Wheke).
Cranwell has previously served as a government appointed ECan councillor and in the last term was a Tumu Taiao Mana Whenua expert.
Korako is a former National List MP.
