The Local Government Commission’s has released its decision on the district’s local democratic settings.
The Commission maintains the current mixed model of representation comprising ten councillors and a mayor but changes the ratio of ward to district-wide councillors.
Currently Kāpiti Coast District has five ward councillors and five district-wide, which was proposed to remain.
The Commission’s decision adds an extra councillor to both the Waikanae and Paraparaumu wards and reduces the number of district-wide councillors from five to three.
Ōtaki and Paekākāriki-Raumati Wards will have one councillor each, Waikanae will have two, Paraparaumu three, and three councillors will represent the district as a whole.
