Will you stand?

As an elected member, you'll need to:

  • be involved in community engagement with your council
  • commit to ensuring all voices are heard
  • work to build and protect a culture of inclusion and belonging.

You'll also need to demonstrate your commitment to honouring the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi – The Treaty of Waitangi.

Good governance balances short- and long-term responsibilities. Your role will be to focus on the overall performance of Council, such as how it meets community expectations and aspirations, fulfils statutory obligations and looks after assets. 

For all you need to know about standing as a candidate, see our Candidate Information Handbook 2022 [PDF 2.75 MB]. You can see who's been nominated so far on our Candidates page.
