Can you actively represent the views of those around you to Council?
If you can answer yes or maybe to these questions, it’s time for you to think about showing your interest in joining one of four new Community Panels throughout the city.
The Panels will be made up of five community members and two local elected councillors and will be in the Northern, Western, Central and Eastern wards.
The Community Panels key responsibilities will be:
a) Representation – discuss, debate and provide feedback to Council on all important local issues, city wide matters of significance, Annual Plans and policy setting.
b) Manage a new Local Community Projects fund ($120,000 per triennium for each Panel).
c) Manage the Community Engagement fund.
We are looking for candidates who live in the Ward they seek to represent or alternatively be able to demonstrate clear connections/commitment to that community; and demonstrate an ability to represent their community both in the community and in formal public settings including Council.
Find out more about the selection process and what the Panel responsibilities are with the link below.
You can also get application forms from our Administration Building at 30 Laings Road, online at or at city libraries.
Applications close on 30 June 2017.
Every year, over 11,000 brave men and women keep us safe. Most of them are working full-time jobs. Many are parents or grandparents. When the siren sounds, they all come running.
If you know a fire volunteer, this is your chance to say thanks. #cheerstothevolunteers
