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. You can view the results of this election 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. The first session is an open forum where members of the public are welcome to attend and ask questions or provide feedback to their elected members and The Trusts senior leadership team. We cover a wide range of topics in these open forums. The second session is a closed meeting for the elected members.
The minutes from each meeting are made available after the following month’s meeting and can be found below. The minutes from previous meetings can be found here.
