Paraparaumu Community Board

The Paraparaumu Community Board represents your local community and advocates to Kāpiti Coast District Council about local issues, including public transport and facilities such as libraries and parks. The board is made up of six members: four members elected by voters, and two councillors from the Kāpiti Coast District Council.  This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Paraparaumu Community Board election.

  • Committed to decentralisation; that is no Three Waters and devolution of power to local democracy.

  • Regular engagement with Paraparaumu residents to understand what our community wants, instead of what the board thinks the community wants.

    Regular reporting back to Paraparaumu residents of what our community board has done on its behalf.

  • Online polls to see whether community backs new things proposed by council – we need better engagement.

    Allow the community to speak at the community board meetings and be heard and listened to.
