Waitotara, Patea, Waverley Hydatids Authority

A committee (later called authority) established on 25 August 1959, comprising representatives of the Waitotara and Patea County Councils, Patea Borough Council and Waverley Town Council. The Authority maintained its own budget and kept its own minutes, although the hydatids control scheme and hiring of staff were administered by the Waitotara County Council.
