What is a Community Board?

The purpose of a community board is to:

represent and act as an advocate for the interests of the community;
consider and report on any matter referred to it by their council, and any issues of interest to the community board;
make an annual submission to their council on expenditure;
maintain an overview of services provided by their council within the community; and
communicate with community organisations and special interest groups in the community, and undertake any other responsibilities delegated by their council.
