	Porirua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Porirua is a city in New Zealand, 20 km north of Wellington.
		The name Porirua was first applied to a local government unit in 1961 when Makara County to the west of Wellington was abolished, the mostly rural western part becoming the Makara Ward of Hutt County and the rapidly growing eastern urban portion becoming the Borough of Porirua.
		Notable councillors of Porirua have included Whitford Brown (first Mayor); Ken Douglas (trade unionist); Ken Gray (former All Black); Garry McCormick (media personality); Helen Smith (the first member of the Values Party to be elected to local government); and Tutu Wineera (a kaumatua of the Ngati Toa iwi).

	Submission to Porirua City Council on Choice of Electoral System for the 2004 local body election - Green Party
		Porirua's population is 20.5% Maori and 23.7% Pacific Island (City Profile, May 2002).
		In Porirua, this has reduced the number of people putting themselves forward for election, because of the risk that they would split the vote with other like-minded candidates and therefore, that none would get elected.
		Given that we have 3 and 5-member wards, the Regional Council's reason for not adopting STV is not a good reason for the Porirua City Council not to adopt STV.

	Scoop: Positive futures for young New Zealanders
		The government selected Porirua as one of the first five Youth Transitions Service sites because you have the essential elements in place: a very effective and forward-looking Council, a community capable of delivering a successful Service, and an appropriate level of need among your young people.
		In October 2004, an estimated 600 15-to-19 year olds in Porirua were not engaged in work, training, or education; around 16 per cent of the city’s population of 15-to-19 year olds.
		That vision is that Porirua is an exciting place, with energy and heart; a vibrant and diverse city with pride in its people and cultures; a city of opportunity, freedom and fairness; a strong, dynamic, regional centre, with a vigorous and sustainable economy.
