Councillor John MacDonald resigns from Queenstown Lakes District Council
Queenstown-Wakatipu Councillor John MacDonald has tendered his resignation with immediate effect, mayor Jim Boult advised on Tuesday.
“Those close to him will know that John has been battling the effects of Parkinson’s disease and medical advice has been to significantly reduce his workload to focus on managing his condition," the mayor says.
MacDonald was first elected as a councillor to the Queenstown-Wakatipu Ward in October 2016.
"He has brought a steady and considered perspective to the table through some difficult debates and sensitive topics. I, for one, will miss his contribution to our important work for the district’s communities," Boult says.
MacDonald's resignation triggers the process for a by-election. Details will be published once confirmed.
