Inangahua Community Board

Community boards are elected at the same time as Councils but do not have the same powers. The role of the Inangahua Community Board (ICB) is to help Council to understand and meet the Inangahua community’s needs. 

ICB meetings are held two-monthly. Meetings are open to the public unless there is reason to consider some items “public excluded”. Meeting dates can be viewed on Council's calendar.

Public forums

A public forum is held at the start of the Inangahua Community Board meeting to allow members of the community to address the Community Board.

Any person wanting to address ICB in person or by Zoom during the public forum section of a meeting can submit a request through our online or paper form.

Guidelines for speaking at the public forum have been developed and can be downloaded as follows:
