Wellington Regional Council, branded as Greater Wellington Regional Council, is the regional council overseeing the Wellington Region of New Zealand's lower North Island.[5] It is responsible for public transport under the brand Metlink, environmental and flood protection, and the region's water supply.[6] As of 2023, it is the majority owner of CentrePort Wellington with a 77% shareholding.[7]

The Wellington Regional Council was first formed in 1980 from the amalgamation of the functions of the Wellington Regional Planning Authority with those of the Wellington Regional Water Board,[8] before taking its current form with the local government reforms of 1989.[9]

A proposal made in 2013 that nine territorial authorities amalgamate to form a single supercity met substantial local opposition and was abandoned in June 2015.[10]

Council members

The governing body of the regional council is made up of 13 councillors, representing six constituencies:[11]

In October 2023, the council voted to also establish a Māori constituency for the 2025 local elections.[12]

As of the 2022 local elections the regional councillors are:[13]
