Northland Regional Council

Bay of Islands-Whangaroa General Constituency
The Northland Regional Council makes decisions about managing resources in the region, such as air, water, soil and the coastline. It also carries out plant and pest control, helps prepare for natural disasters, and is involved in regional transport. The council is made up of nine councillors. Councillors are elected to represent constituencies (areas in the region). One councillor will be elected from the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa General constituency. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

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.

  • Provide all Bay of Islands residents with some discount to use the ferry to Russell and boost their off-season economy.

    Stop the green car that has almost killed me twice going 130 km in the 50 zone.

    Repair the walkways and have a rental bike shop. Not electric vehicle bikes. We are already an unfit nation!
