Your Porirua City Mayor and Councillors

Councillors are here to represent your views. Have a yarn with them about your ideas for your local area when you see them.

Porirua City has 10 Councillors in three wards (Onepoto General Ward, Pāuatahanui General, and Parirua Māori Ward) who, together with the Mayor, represent our community for three years. Say hello if you see them at the supermarket or sports ground.
