Taituarā — Local Government Professionals Aotearoa

Taituarā is the national organisation that supports and develops local government professionals around New Zealand. We focus on providing professional leadership, promoting innovation and excellence in management practices and developing sector capability to enhance service delivery to our local communities. Taituarā is the voice of Local Government professionals and advocates on their behalf on the issues that impact management within the sector. We work with integrity and diligence for our members and the rest of the local government profession providing thought leadership and guidance on the role of good local government management. We work with our sector policy makers on the development of submissions to central government, engage with relevant central government agencies and develop briefing documents for the Minister of Local Government.
