​WELCOME
Whitianga Residents & Ratepayers Association (WRRA) is a membership-based Incorporated Society that aims to promote the interests and welfare of Whitianga residents and ratepayers. Our influence is only as strong as the size of our membership, which is why we cordially invite all Whitianga residents and ratepayers to join our Association.
As a member you will be able to directly influence the activities that we undertake. These are are outlined in our Home page, and in our Mission Statement found in the 'ABOUT US' section above.

​WRRA HAS A NEW WEBSITE....
Earlier this year the WRRA Committee recognised that regular contact with our membership had been negatively influenced by a website that had become diffcult to support. Meeting agendas and minutes, comments and updates had not been available online to members for many months. The Committee decided to build a new website that would be flexible, easy to update and support. The first phase of the project focussed on ‘belt and braces’ features and updating current year data. That phase is now complete and historical data for years 2024 and 2025 has been uploaded to the database.
We plan to continually update and enhance the content of the website and we invite you to explore the site's features and review our progress so far.
    * One important feature is that our website is now connected to our Facebook page.
  ** You are welcome to use the 'CONTACT US' tab above to send your comments, suggestions and submissions to the Committee         and you may be invited to present your submission in person at our monthly Committee Meeting.

   ​​WHAT WE DO
  • Attend full Council and Community Board meetings as observers and report back to our members
  • Research, prepare and make submissions to Council on issues that affect our members
  • Progress the key infrastructure elements that Council is responsible for and ensure our members are fully informed about what is happening ​​
  • ​Identify positive and constructive initiatives that would provide long-term benefits to the community
  • Engage with other R&R Associations in the Thames-Coromandel District on common interests 
  • Work with GreyPower Mercury Bay on issues which impact the members of both organisations
  • ​​Publish a monthly WRRA Newsletter with Committee Meeting agendas & minutes, Newsletters and updates on current issues
