This week, Invercargill City Council confirmed the rebrand to Sir Tim Shadbolt Terminal was taking longer than anticipated. According to a council report, the organisation holds over 97 percent of shares in the airport through Invercargill City Holdings Ltd, which Shadbolt was a director of from 2013 to 2019. During his tenure as mayor, the airport underwent a significant runway extension in 2003 and completion of a new terminal development in 2016. Shadbolt served as mayor of Invercargill from 1993-1995, and again from 1998-2022.
