Tauranga City Council is reviewing how it represents you, as an individual and as a part of the business community.

Its current representation arrangements have been in place since 2010. It needs to ensure that the model used provides fair and effective representation for residents, in preparation for the next local body election.

The team will be considering:

• The total number of councillors appropriate for Tauranga
• Whether councillors should be elected from wards or by a mix of both wards and at large (across the city)
• The boundaries of wards
• Whether there should be community boards and, if so, what these would involve.

Before undertaking a formal consultation process, Tauranga City Council would like to understand your initial preferences.

Please complete a short survey at www.tauranga.govt.nz/representation

 More information is available on the website, or at one of their community information sessions:

• Greerton Library, Wednesday 28 July, 5pm – 6.30pm
• Pāpāmoa Library, Thursday 29 July, 12:30pm – 2pm
• Tauranga City Council, Willow Street, Te Awanui Harbour Room, Thursday 29 July, 3.30pm – 5pm

Please share this information with your networks and encourage them to complete the survey!

The Commissioners look forward to considering your views, to help shape our city’s democracy.
