Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays, Porirua!

Porirua City Council

From Porirua Mayor Anita Baker: 2022 was a local body election year, and I’d like to thank everyone, from candidates to voters, who played their part in the work of democracy. While overall rates of participation were disappointing across the country, I’m grateful to say in Porirua we saw a robust campaign that never descended into the rancour and nastiness that affected contests elsewhere.

The Council had a busy year with a big works programme of water and roading maintenance and upgrades, as well as extensive tree planting, that will accelerate into 2023 and beyond. Continuing questions over the precise direction of the Government’s Three Waters plan, along with impending local body reforms, make this a difficult and uncertain time, but I have every confidence in the city’s readiness to adapt to this quickly evolving environment.
