Welcome to the new Council

On 27 October 2022 the new Westland District Council met for their first Council meeting of the triennium. The Mayor and each Councillor made their formal declaration under the Local Government Act to undertake their duties on Council. An inaugural meeting is where the Council complete the administration that allows them to govern, including adopting a Code of Conduct, Standing Orders and resolving on their remuneration.

A video of the meeting is available on Council’s Youtube Channel.

Council will begin the process to fill the extraordinary vacancy in the Northern ward later this month.
