Representation Review Early Feedback Now Open!

We are now in the third and final stage of the representation process required before the 2025 and 2028 elections. The introduction of Māori wards means we will have changes to the current representation.  

Following feedback from tangata whenua and iwi, residents and ratepayers within the community, Council will propose how the district is best represented. You will have several opportunities to have your say through this process.  

For more information and the survey please use the link below.

Representation Review 2024 Early Feedback Survey 

We will be having two drop-in sessions at the district library

  • Friday 22 March 10am-11:30am
  • Thursday 28 March 1:30pm-3pm 

Easter Trading Policy

For all business owners/managers – Easter trading rules are set by legislation.  
To confirm whether you are eligible to open over Easter Weekend please refer to the Shop Trading Hours Act 1990 (Part 1, section 4 and 4a).
If you are uncertain about your eligibility to open your business, please contact Ministry of Business Innovation and Enterprise (MBIE)
Kawerau District Council does not have a current Easter Trading Policy.  In the coming months, Council will talk with the community and business owners about a new policy that determines if we have our settings right. 
In the meantime, please check out the links above and we will be in touch again when we are reviewing the policy for 2025 and beyond.  
If you wish to know more, please contact MBIE email info@mbie.govt.nz or phone on +64 4 901 1499
