Pātea Community Board

The Pātea Community Board represents your local community and advocates to South Taranaki District Council about local issues, including public transport and facilities such as libraries and parks. The board is made up of five members: four members elected by voters, and one councillor from the South Taranaki District Council.  This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Pātea Community Board election.

  • Protect our moana, awa and w'enua. We need to stop sea bed mining.

    Create a restoration plan for Pātea awa including monitoring of the water, we need to know what's happening.

    Active co-governance of our environment.

    Support efforts to implement household and business food waste/composting collection.

    Establish local animal control to manage roaming dogs, possums or other nuisance animals.
