About Us
Hawke’s Bay Local Authority Shared Services (HBLASS) is the company that the five Hawke’s Bay councils established to advance Shared Services in our region.
The Company is owned on an equal basis by all the councils, that is Central Hawke’s Bay District, Hawke’s Bay Regional, Hastings District, Napier City and the Wairoa District Councils.
