Changes to council representation
The Local Government Commission’s has released its decision on the district’s local democratic settings.
The Commission maintains the current mixed model of representation comprising ten councillors and a mayor but changes the ratio of ward to district-wide councillors.
Currently Kāpiti Coast District has five ward councillors and five district-wide, which was proposed to remain.
The Commission’s decision adds an extra councillor to both the Waikanae and Paraparaumu wards and reduces the number of district-wide councillors from five to three.
Ōtaki and Paekākāriki-Raumati Wards will have one councillor each, Waikanae will have two, Paraparaumu three, and three councillors will represent the district as a whole.
