Mayor of Waimakariri

Mayor of Waimakariri

The Mayor of Waimakariri is the head of the municipal government of Waimakariri District, New Zealand. The mayor is directly elected using a First Past the Post electoral system. The current mayor is David Ayers.[1]

History

Waimakariri District was established as part of the 1989 local government reforms. It was formed from Rangiora District, Kaiapoi Borough, Oxford County, Eyre County (based on Ohoka) and part of Hurunui County - although Rangiora District and Eyre County had already amalgamated earlier that year.[2]

The first mayor, Trevor Inch, had been Mayor of Rangiora since 1986. He died shortly after resigning on health grounds in 1995.[2] He was succeeded by Janice Skurr, who was in office 1995–2001. Skurr died in 2008.[3] Former Member of Parliament Jim Gerard defeated Skurr in 2001 and was re-elected unopposed in 2004. In 2007 he was defeated by Ron Keating[4] who in turn was defeated by David Ayers three years later, in 2010.[5]
