Hastings District Council
Hastings District Council (Māori: Te Kaunihera ā-Rohe o Heretaunga) is the territorial authority for the Hastings District of New Zealand.[1] The council covers the urban areas of Havelock North, Hastings and Flaxmere, and the surrounding settlements of Clive, Te Awanga, Haumoana and Waimarama.[1] The council is led by the mayor of Hastings, who is currently Sandra Hazlehurst.[1] The 2022–2025 term was dominated by the recovery of the district following the destruction caused by Cyclone Gabrielle.[2] All councillors are currently unaffiliated with any political party or group.
