Local Government Reform - Councillor Representation Review

Have your say about your Councillor Representation

The City has resolved to undertake a review of its Councillor representation to comply with reforms to the Local Government Act 1995  that will strengthen democracy and increase community engagement.  The City is inviting the community to take part in the review.

The purpose of the review is to assess the number of Councillor positions that are appropriate for the City, within the limits of representation as set by the Local Government Reform Proposals. The 91ÊÓƵ Council comprises 12 Councillors and a directly elected Mayor.

A discussion paper regarding the review of representation and the new requirements is available here
