Waikato District Council

Awaroa-Maramarua General Ward
The Waikato District 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 13 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). One councillor will be elected from the Awaroa-Maramarua General 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.
