Council, committee meetings and community board meetings are an important part of local democracy. Meetings bring elected members together to discuss, debate and decide on matters that affect the future of the New Plymouth district.
Meetings are open to the public, and you are encouraged to attend in person, hear the discussion first hand and understand how decisions are made.
If you cannot attend, meetings of Council and most committees are live streamed and recorded so the decision-making process remains open, accessible and transparent. A link to the meeting and agenda will be available below before each meeting.
New Plymouth District Council meetings are run under Standing Orders, ensuring decisions are made through a consistent, fair and accountable process.
Council, committee and community board meeting agendas are published below at least 2 business days before each meeting.
