Electoral wards
Following a representation review in 2024 and the Local Government Commission determination in April 2025, new representation arrangements are in place for this year’s local elections.
These changes include:
- a new Māori ward covering the entire district, with a new Māori ward councillor to represent it (replacing one districtwide councillor).
- voters on the Māori roll will vote for the Kapiti Coast Māori Ward councillor instead of the General Ward councillor(s).
- adjustments to the Paekākāriki-Raumati Ward and the Paekākāriki and Paraparaumu Community Board boundaries.
- people living in the Emerald Glen and Valley Road communities will now vote in the Paekākāriki-Raumati Ward and the Paekākāriki Community Board.
