A city is a type of place in New Zealand. You can find information about cities in the Local Government Act. Section 37M of the Act used to be about cities, but it is no longer part of the law because it was repealed on 1 July 2003 by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002. This means that section 37M is no longer used.
