You are a member of a community board. Your community board has between 4 and 12 members. It must have at least 4 elected members. You can also have appointed members on your community board. The number of appointed members must be less than half of the total members. Appointed members must be from the territorial authority in your area. If your area is divided into wards, they must also represent a ward where your community is situated. You can find more information by looking at the Local Electoral Amendment Act 2002.
