PAREMATA RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2026

The Association’s 2026 AGM was held on Thursday 13th August at the Mana Cruising Club

Porirua City Council Officers Helen Oram (Manager Climate & Environmental Planning) and Rory Smeaton (Principal Policy Planner) gave a visual presentation of climate and environmental planning work being carried out by the Council in the local area. This covers a wide scope of activity, but in the time available they covered flooding, liquefaction and landslips. All very important and topical issues given the recent storms and flooding in NZ.

The AGM minutes for 2025 were confirmed, the financial report approved and the annual report presented. The annual subscriptions for 2026/27 were set at $10 per person (the change from membership by household to individual was identified). The committee for 2026/27 was elected, including all existing committee members, 2 previous members and 1 new member.
