The board is made up of eight members: seven members elected by voters, including Two members from your area, and one member from the Christchurch City council. There will be no election this year because there are the same number of candidates as there are positions.

Transport

Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.
