Napier City Council
The Napier City Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 12 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the city). Four councillors will be elected from the Nelson Park ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

Maxine Boag
Why I'm standing
I am seeking a sixth term because I feel I make a valuable contribution particularly in advocating for, and supporting our most vulnerable residents. A hard worker, my seniority and local body experience provides a balance in our council, which helps us work as a team.
About me
Over my years of service, I've developed enduring relationships across the city with not-for-profit groups, residents associations in my ward, churches, Māori entities, businesses, schools and service providers. Their issues and concerns I bring to the council table. I'm on the executive of our Grey Power association and a Charitable Trust in Maraenui, meaning I spend many hours in voluntary work actively helping. I'm a team worker, a hard worker and an advocate for others.
My priorities
- Build partnerships: the future we face needs a collaborative effort across all our communities.
- Tackle the effects of climate change in partnership with our community and other stakeholders.
- Enable housing construction at every level. Including a night shelter for the homeless.
