The Christchurch City Council is the local government authority for Christchurch in New Zealand. It is a territorial authority elected to represent the 415,100 people of Christchurch.[1] Since October 2022, the Mayor of Christchurch is Phil Mauger, who succeeded after the retirement of Lianne Dalziel.[2] The council currently consists of 16 councillors elected from sixteen wards, and is presided over by the mayor, who is elected at large. The number of elected members and ward boundaries changed prior to the 2016 election.
