Representation Review

Print Page

Under the Local Electoral Act 2001, all local authorities have to review their representation arrangements at least once every 6 years. This process is called the Representation Review.

The Representation Review requires the Council to decide how its Councillors are elected:

  • by the electors of the district as a whole (ie city-wide), or
  • by the electors of two or more wards, or
  • a combination of both.

The Review also decides the number of Councillors to be elected.

As part of the process, the Council also has to review how the existing community boards are operating and decide whether to set up more community boards.

Next Review

The Council has to carry out its next review in time for the 2013 local authority election.
