The Representation Review is when we take a fresh look at our representation arrangements. This makes sure our council is structured so it best serves the interests and needs of Napier’s residents.

As part of the review, we’ve been thinking about:

  • How many elected members should be on council?
  • How many wards should we have, what should their boundaries be, and what should they be named?
  • Should we have a mix of both ward councillors and at large councillors?
  • How many Māori wards and representatives should Napier have?
  • Should we establish community boards?

We surveyed residents in late 2023 and again in more detail in May. Council considered this feedback, and is consulting on its proposal for Napier’s representation from 8 July. Local government is all about representing residents, so it’s important we hear from you. 

Make a submission on sayitnapier.nz between Monday 8 July and Thursday 8 August. If you would like to make a submission on paper, call in to our Customer Service Centre, Napier Library or Taradale Library.
