Greater Wellington governance
The council is responsible for directing the activities of Greater Wellington. Various Acts of Parliament, such as the Local Government Act and the Resource Management Act, state what activities the council should, or may, be involved with. It is the councillors’ role to decide how the activities should be carried out. These decisions are reflected in this Long Term Plan.
Council establishes committees to help it guide and monitor the progress of activities in the Long Term Plan and meet its statutory obligations. Council and committee meetings are open to the public to participate or observe (except when excluded for specific reasons).
The dates and times for these meetings are publicly available on the Greater Wellington website. The meeting agendas and materials are publicly available two days before the meeting.
At the start of each new triennium the council adopts its committee structure. The council has established the following committees.
One of the most important ways you can take part in the decisions that make and shape our region is to get involved in the local authority elections. These are held every three years on the second Saturday in October.
Local authority elections are conducted under the provisions of the Local Electoral Act 2001, the Local Electoral Regulations 2001 and the Local Government Act 2002.
The next election will be in October 2025.
