If you want to have a say about the councillor election system and whether or not community boards should be established in Tauranga you can do so by completing the form online or in writing. Google "Tauranga City Have Your Say" for the online form. Copies can also be picked up at your local library or the Council will send you one if you make a request.
The Review will determine how many councillors there should be and how they should be elected. Options 1, 3 and 4 councillors are elected from several wards but electors are only entitled to vote for the councillors from their ward.They may not vote for councillors from other wards. Option 2 provides for 9 councillors to be elected from one city-wide general ward and for electors to be entitled to vote for all 9 councillors. Maori ward electors may only vote for Maori ward councillors.
This is the first time that a Tauranga Council has given residents the opportunity to decide if they want community boards to be established. Community boards give residents a chance to have a say on local matters at a local level. Boards are managed by local people elected for 3 years from the community they represent. A board's forums and meetings are conducted in local venues where residents will feel comfortable having their say. This is real grassroots democracy.
Representation Reviews take place every 6 years.There won't be another opportunity to have your say until 2027. If you haven't already done so, make sure you let the Council know what you think before the survey closes on Friday.

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.
"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”
The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.

Details of the options will be posted on the Council's website on Friday. Google: Tauranga City Have a Say. Three of the options are aligned with the previously used ward system and one offers a new system that would see 9 councillors elected to represent all of Tauranga. Under the ward system voters can only vote for the few councillors in their ward but under the new system they can vote for all 9 councillors.
Also up on the website will be a survey to find out if people want community boards.The boards would be led by locally elected members who would have legal power to hold public forums and advocate for the needs and preferences of their local area. Boards are funded by the Council but they are not expensive. The yearly cost of a board would be no more $4.50 per head of population and possibly much less than that. If boards get the go ahead they will start operating next year.
Tell the Council you want boards so you can have your say at a local level.
