Rotorua Lakes Community Board

The Rotorua Lakes Community Board represents your local community and advocates to Rotorua 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 Rotorua 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 Rotorua Lakes Community Board election.
