Electoral Representation (Ward Boundary) Review
During 2005 and 2006 Waitakere City Council undertook a ‘Representation
Review’ to decide on a ward structure for future elections as required by the
Local Electoral Act 2001. This review concluded with the release of the Local
Government Commission’s determination on 19 December 2006.
The decision on
Waitakere City Council’s membership, ward, and community board arrangements for
the 2007 Triennial Elections was announced after considering objections against the Council’s
final proposal.
The Local Government Commission decided that the Council will comprise a mayor and
fourteen councillors elected as follows:
There will be a community board for each ward which will
cover the same areas as the Council wards. The membership of each community
board shall comprise of five elected members plus two councillors of each
respective ward who will be appointed by Council.
The Commission’s decision differs from the Council’s final proposal in the
following ways:
- An extended area around and including Ranui remains in the Massey Ward;
- An additional area of Glendene is to be transferred from the Henderson
Ward to the New Lynn Ward;
- The Waitakere Ward will be extended to more closely follow the area
identified in the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Bill
(presently before
Parliament), and will include Laingholm and part of Titirangi;
- Henderson, Massey and New Lynn Wards will be represented by four
councillors for each ward;
- The Waitakere Ward will be represented by two councillors instead of
one.
