Te Arotake Whakaahuatanga Tangata/The Representation Review 2024 is your chance to think about how Far North District Council can represent your community most effectively. Earlier this year, we received feedback from our community about the current representation arrangements for Far North District Council. We asked: Do you feel fairly and effectively represented? Using feedback collected this year, we developed an initial proposal. This leaves the current arrangements largely intact but with the following changes:

  • Two councillors appointed to community boards with voting rights
  • Changing the name of the Whatuwhiwhi Subdivision of the Te Hiku Community Board to Karikari-Awanui Subdivision.

Review the Initial Proposal page for more information. Submissions on the initial proposal closed on Monday 17 June 2024.
