Fiona Vining on Zone 4 Board

Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) Community Boards has welcomed the appointment of Paraparaumu/Raumati Community Board chair Fiona Vining as an executive member for the Zone 4 region.

Ms Vining was elected to the Paraparaumu/Raumati Community Board for the first time last October and was appointed chair at the board’s first meeting. She is a qualified Solicitor and joins the Executive with a passion for community boards and what they can achieve in their local communities.

With the elections now over LGNZ report they will be issuing an invitation to the new Minster of Local Government, the Hon Paula Bennett, to attend their next meeting in November. “The opportunity to meet with the Minister of Local Government is an important one for the Executive as it provides an opportunity to both brief the Minister on the work of community boards and receive feedback on any priorities the incoming government might have that are relevant for our members.”
