Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board

Russell-Ōpua Subdivision
The Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board represents your local community and advocates to Far North District Council about local issues, including public transport and facilities such as libraries and parks. The board is made up of eight members: seven members elected by voters, including one member from your area, and one councillor from the Far North District council. There will be no election this year because there are the same number of candidates as there are positions. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board election.

Transport

Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.
