Akaroa-Wairewa Community Board

The Akaroa-Wairewa Community Board represents almost 3,100 people and some 1,200 households in an area extending from the ridge line running across Gebbies Pass, Mt Herbert, Mt Fitzgerald, Big Bay in the north, along the eastern and southern coastline of Banks Peninsula, including the Kaitorete Spit and the south eastern part of Lake Ellesmere.

The area is bound in the west by the southern tip of the Port Hills ridge line and the Halswell river. The community includes Akaroa, Little River, Okains Bay and Inlets Banks Peninsula bays.

Each of the six metropolitan Council wards elect two Councillors, while only one Councillor is elected by the Banks Peninsula ward.

The Board is supported by the Community Board Support Team which provides advice to the Board and ensures that the Board has the information it needs to assist it in making decisions.

The Team arranges board meetings and produces agendas for those meetings as well as providing information to people who want to come and speak with the Board.

Please note that the 2010 (colour) map reflects minor boundary changes from the 2007 (black and white) map as a result of a review by the Local Government Commission of the Council's governance arrangements.
