Introducing our Paekākāriki Community Board members for the 2025-2028 triennium

Māori Ward Councillor Himiona Grace, Tina Pope, Himiona Grace, Elyse Robêrt (Deputy Chair), Kelsey Lee (Chair).

It’s our mission to engage with you in the most effective way possible. We are here to work for you, to promote your issues and initiatives and to be a conduit for community development. We will enable democratic local decision-making and action, by and on behalf of Paekākāriki.  If you’ve got ideas or concerns, we’d love to hear from you. How? You can call and email us, chat to us after gigs, over beer or outside the milk fridge at Horace’s. You can come along and speak at our public meetings, or send a message to our Facebook page.

We also administer three grants: Paekākāriki Community Board grant, the  Campe Estate community fund and the Paekakariki Services Club community grant. You can find our grant applications on the KCDC site here
