Rotorua Lakes Community Board

About the board

The Rotorua Lakes Community Board was established in 2007 and has four elected members and one Council-appointed councillor. The board gives a voice to specific communities within Rotorua, roughly covering Hamurana and lakes Rotoiti, Rotoehu, Rotoma, Okareka and Tarawera. Board members act as representatives, advocates and connectors of these communities.

The role of a community board member is varied and focuses mainly on providing a voice for either the lakes or rural communities and acting as a bridge between the community and the council.

The Rotorua Lakes Community Board meets once a month, and meetings are open for public attendance.
