Established in 2016, The Rotorua Rural Community Board has four elected members and one Council-appointed councillor. The board provides a voice to rural communities, acting as representatives, advocates and connectors. The rural board covers an extensive area with approximately 8000 residents to the north, south, east and west of Rotorua.
The role of a community board member is varied and focuses on advocacy and acting as a bridge between the community and the council.
The Rotorua Rural Community Board meets once a month, and these meetings are open to the public to attend.
