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 of the area they live in. The members elected to each Trust 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 last election for elected members to Waitakere 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 Waitakere Licensing Trust meet at Quality Hotel Lincoln Green, 159 Lincoln Road, Henderson to discuss the Trust’s activities. 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.
