Community and Reserve Management Committees

Community Committee

Our Community Committees provide a local link and point of contact for Council liaison with the community. We have four community committees in the District.

  • Bulls Community Committee
  • Hunterville Community Committee
  • Marton Community Committee
  • Turakina Community Committee

There are four to ten members, and one Councillor from the ward that the committee resides in.

The purpose of these community committees:

  • To provide a local link and point of contact for Council liaison with the local community.
  • To provide for the exchange of information, communication, and to assist with
    the Council’s consultative processes.
  • To exercise delegated authority for the annual allocation for “defined small local works” in line with the
    guidelines.
  • To help to ensure that any minor remedial or renewal works are brought to
    Council’s attention through the Request for Service procedure in the appropriate
    manner through promoting the use of the Request for Service procedure and
    advising community members on how to use the Request for Service procedure.

Domain/Reserve Committee

Our Domain/Reserve Committees act as caregivers of these areas and progress their development through a range of projects. Council has one reserve management committee and one domain management committee. These are:

  • McIntyre Reserve Management Committee
  • Santoft Domain Management Committee

There are six to eight members as well as one Councillor from the ward that the committee resides in.
