• Work on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the residents of Paremata and surrounding areas on matters affecting their interests and wellbeing.
• Protect and promote the residential, social, recreational, and environmental amenities of the Paremata area for the benefit of both residents and visitors.
• Pursue matters of wider interest affecting the Paremata community and liaise or affiliate with other communities in matters of common interest.
• Pursue dialogue and mediation on any development or activity affecting the area, including lodging any objection, petition, or appeal, or taking part in any process on these matters.
• Represent the Paremata community in matters affecting the community undertaken by Porirua City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council (or the successors of either), Council controlled organisations, or government departments and agencies.

In February 26, the Paremata Residents Association re-registered with the Incorporated Societies using a new constitution that complies with the Incorporated Societies Act 2022. Our new constitution is included under the “About Us” page.

The Residents Association is the voice of the community and is involved in many issues that affect our residents. But the executive committee needs help in carrying out these activities. Please consider whether you could help us with this community service, by putting your name forward for election to the executive committee. We meet for 2 hours once a month and have discussions in-between by email or phone.  To contact us please email: [email protected]
