Friend of the Submitter

If you’d like help with making a submission, a Friend of the Submitter can assist you. They’re an independent advisor who can explain the process and help you share your views. They are there to be neutral and won’t influence your submission in any way. To access this free and fully independent service please email fos@waitaki.govt.nz.
