Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board
Local democracy
Local government is a foundational part of our democracy. But local democracy isn’t just about holding elections every three years – it’s about the day-to-day ways people have their say in the decisions that affect us all.

Community support for Christchurch City Council is at an all-time low and we need to rebuild faith in our council. To do this we need to listen to our residents.
Encourage public participation in Council decision making through the various consultations by ensuring adequate information is shared.
Continue to involve mana whenua in all decisions, and investigate whether Māori wards would be preferred.
Ensure consultation material is provided in multiple languages and access to in-person as well as online meetings is accessible to everyone.
