Change Three - Community Board Representation

Although the ward boundaries are changing, we are proposing to keep the current boundaries of our two community boards the same.

Currently the Clutha District is comprised of two community boards, and we propose that this does not change.


Community BoardElected membersAppointed member of CouncilArea of community
West Otago Community Board
61 appointed from West Otago Ward
Comprising the existing West Otago ward area as delineated on Plan LG- 0722013-W-1 deposited with the Local Government Commission.
Lawrence-Tuapeka Community Board
61 appointed from Lawrence-Tuapeka Ward
Comprising the existing Lawrence-Tuapeka ward area as delineated on Plan LG072-2019-W-2 deposited with the Local Government Commission.


The boundaries of the community boards are proposed to remain (status quo) under the existing ward boundaries. The reason for retaining the existing communities and their boundaries is to ensure that the communities of interest in West Otago and Lawrence-Tuapeka continue to be effectively represented by their respective community boards.
