Every three years, as part of the local body elections, the West Auckland community votes for members of the community to represent their views on the licensing trust area they live in. The members elected are the community’s voice and an essential link between the community ownership of The Trusts and the management of the commercial businesses of The Trusts.
The most recent election for elected members to Portage Licensing Trust took place on Saturday the 12th of October 2019. Below are the current elected members of Portage Licensing Trust. View the Portage Licensing Trust Standing Orders here.
Every month elected members of the Portage Licensing Trust meet to discuss the Trust’s activities at Bricklane, 5 Clark St New Lynn. The meeting has two sessions.

We cover a wide range of topics in these open forums. The second session is a closed meeting for the elected members.
