Councils are made up of members of the public elected in local authority elections held every three years. The Council is led by the Mayor, who provides leadership and direction to the council and community, and chairs the meetings.
Elected representatives represent and lead the community, setting policy, making decisions in the best interests of their communities.
The Buller District Council consists of 11 elected members, the Mayor and 10 Councillors. The district is divided into three wards - Seddon (2 elected representatives), Westport (6 elected representatives) and Inangahua (2 elected representatives). The Mayor is elected at large.
