Three decades involvement in Northland s port industry will be put to good use by New Zealand s newest regional councillor.
Terry Archer (69), former Northland Harbour Board general manager then Northland Port Corporation chief executive, this week became a Northland Regional councillor after winning the council s Whangārei urban byelection.
Successfully helming the management of now Northland Region Council (NRC)-owned former Northland port assets is a key function of NRC councillors.

Former Northland Port Corporation chief executive Terry Archer has won the Northland Regional Council (NRC) Whangārei urban byelection.
Archer, 69, won the constituency byelection ahead of seven other candidates in voting which closed at noon today. I m excited about it. I am looking forward to contributing to the future of the NRC and Northland, Archer said. I was elected in the Whangārei urban constituency but see my constituency as being the whole of Northland.
