Ward maps and boundaries

Wellington City is divided into six wards that elect a total of 15 Councillors. See maps and suburbs of Wellington's wards and community boards.

The number of councillors for each ward is determined by the estimated resident population of each ward and the total population of the city as a whole. For the first time in the 2022 elections, one councillor will be elected from a Māori ward.

The list includes:

  • One Mayor, who is elected by all the city's voters
  • One Councillor for the Te Whanganui-a-Tara Māori Ward
  • Three Councillors for the Takapū/Northern General Ward
  • Three Councillors for the Wharangi/Onslow-Western General Ward 
  • Three Councillors for the Pukehīnau/Lambton General Ward 
  • Three Councillors for the Motukairangi/Eastern General Ward 
  • Two Councillors for the Paekawakawa/Southern General Ward

The maps below show the Council's current ward boundaries and the suburbs they contain.

The Te Whanganui-a-Tara Māori Ward is comprised of all people on the Māori roll in Wellington City and is not geography-based like the other wards – Information about the Māori ward.
