Meeting Dates 2024

Full Council, Forums and Committee Meetings are held in the Council Chambers in the Queen Street Offices and are open to the public unless otherwise specified. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend all Council and Committees meetings. However, the Chairperson will ask the public to leave when and if the meeting moves into the public excluded section of the meeting.

You can speak to Council during the public forum section of a Council or Committee meeting – please contact our Governance team governance@wairoadc.govt.nz to arrange this.

Some workshops or meetings may be held in confidential, meaning the public and the media cannot attend. Public Excluded Agendas are not available to the public but where there is a Public Excluded Agenda, the item headings can be seen at the back of the open Agendas.

Extraordinary meetings of Council may be called as and when required to deal with specific issues. Public notification of the meeting must be given as early as is reasonable and must include the general nature of the business to be transacted.

Ordinary Meetings of Council are scheduled four weekly on Tuesdays.

Council Forums are scheduled four weekly on Tuesdays.

No Council Meetings or Forums are scheduled in January of each year.

Ordinary Meeting of Council

Council Forum

Council Forum is every 4 weeks and is an informal public meeting where elected members and attendees hear what members of the public and other organisations have to say on a number of topics. This meeting is open to the public to attend.

  • 4 weekly meetings
  • Tuesday at 10am

If you would like to speak at a Council Forum please email governance@wairoadc.govt.nz to arrange. Typically time slots are 10-15 minutes long; however, you can apply to speak for in excess of 15 minutes.

Council Workshops

Council regularly holds workshops that are intended to enable staff or external presenters to receive appropriate support, input and direction from elected members on certain topics. As workshops are not decision-making forums there are no agendas, and most workshops are open to the public to attend should they wish.

However, when dealing with matters of a sensitive nature or issues that require negotiations, workshops will be held as public excluded with reasons listed as per section 7 of the Local Government & Official Information Act 1987.

Council Workshops are scheduled as required and these dates are posted in the above calendar once confirmed.

Youth Council

The Wairoa Youth Council has been created by the Wairoa District Council to provide an independent youth voice to support the decision-making process at Local Government level. It will provide Council with the opportunity to hear rangatahi thoughts on the impacts of Council’s decisions on their own generation as the future ratepayers of Wairoa.
