Each Board meets every two months.Four members of each Board are elected at each triennial local government elections. In the case of Taihape, Council appoints two further members, currently rotated annually around the three Northern Ward Councillors. For Ratana, Council appoints one further member, being a Councilor from the Southern Ward (on a rotating basis).For more information view the website page Community Boards: Rangitikei District Council.Community CommitteesOur Community Committees provide a local link and point of contact for Council liaison with the community.
