The council said on Monday that Chung was no longer the head of the Council Controlled Organisations Review and Appointments Subcommittee. He also stepped down from the subcommittee entirely.
Chung, a Wharangi/Onslow-Western General Ward councillor, said he wanted to focus his attention on his constituents.
Mayor Andrew Little said he accepted Chung’s resignation and expected to appoint a replacement “shortly”. A spokesperson from Little’s office declined to comment further.
The subcommittee is responsible for reviewing the performance of council-controlled organisations, such as the groups running the Basin Reserve, Zealandia wildlife sanctuary, Hnry Stadium and economic development agency WellingtonNZ.
