Representation and elections
BOPRC Representation Review 2024
Every six years councils must review how communities are represented in the make-up of their council. A representation review looks at the structures in place, including the number of constituencies (electoral areas) and their boundaries, the number of elected members (councillors) representing each constituency and the names of our General and Māori constituencies.
The last representation review for Bay of Plenty Regional Council was completed in 2018 and resulted in Council having 14 Councillors representing 4 general constituencies (Western Bay of Plenty, Tauranga, Rotorua and Eastern Bay of Plenty) and 3 Māori constituencies (Mauao, Ōkurei and Kōhi).
To learn more about this review please visit Participate BOPRC.
