Council Controlled Organisations
BOPLASS Ltd
BOPLASS is a company governed by a board of directors, and we're one of nine shareholding councils. To ensure synergy between the company activities and Council's shareholding activities, the directors are also the Chief Executives of their respective shareholding councils.
BOPLASS was set up to foster collaboration between councils in the delivery of services, particularly back office or support services. The company is owned by nine councils - Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Rotorua Lakes Council, Western Bay of Plenty District Council, Kawerau District Council, Tauranga City Council, Ōpōtiki District Council, Whakatāne District Council, Taupō District Council and Gisborne District Council.
By working together with the full support and involvement of council staff, BOPLASS provides benefits to councils and their stakeholders through improved levels of service, reduced costs, improved efficiencies and/or increased value through innovation. This is achieved primarily through joint procurement and shared services.

New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency (LGFA)
The primary purpose of LGFA is to provide more efficient financing costs and diversified financing sources for New Zealand local authorities and council-controlled organisations. They do this by raising debt on behalf of local authorities on terms that are more favorable to them than if they raised the debt directly.
By providing more favorable terms, LGFA helps local authorities to manage their debt more effectively and free up resources to invest in important community projects. This, in turn, helps to support the economic growth and well-being of our District and New Zealand as a whole.
