Greytown Community Board

The Greytown Community Board represents, and acts as an advocate for, the interests of the Greytown community. Specifically, the Board’s role is to:

consider and report on all matters referred to it by the Council, or any matter of interest or concern to the Community Board
maintain an overview of services provided by the Council within the community
prepare an annual submission to the territorial authority for expenditure within the community
communicate with community organisations and special interest groups within the community
undertake any other responsibilities that are delegated to it by the Council.

The Community Boards are made up of four elected community representatives plus two councillors who advocate for and represent the interests of their community. They play a key role in engaging with community groups.

The Greytown Tree Advisory Group is an independent tree advocacy group that works with the Greytown Community Board to promote the protection and beneficial management of trees in and around Greytown. It aims to increase public awareness about the important contribution of trees to Greytown’s landscape, history, and heritage.

We have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Greytown Tree Advisory Group for the 2019-2022 triennium which can be viewed here.
