Live streaming comes to our Council
Porirua City Council meetings will be live streamed from 10 December, giving the public more opportunities to be involved in the democratic process. The first meeting to be streamed, will feature the Council’s main committee, Te Puna Kōrero. During the Covid-19 lockdown, the Council streamed two meetings and decided to look into making this permanent. Porirua Mayor Anita Baker says this tool of engagement has been investigated before and now the time is right, as many in our community have requested the ability to hear and see what elected members are talking about without being there in person. It involved upgrading technology in the Council chamber, with a camera to track whomever is speaking, along with high-quality microphones in front of each person.
The 10 December Te Puna Kōrero meeting starts at 8.30am. Go to the meetings page on our website and click ‘watch now’ to go through to the YouTube page

This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
