Structure of Ward Committees
A ward committee consists of the councillor who represents the ward as elected in the local government elections, and a maximum of 10 people from the ward who are elected by the community they serve. Women should be equally represented on ward committees.
The councillor is the chairperson of the ward committee. Members of the ward committee must participate as volunteers and are not paid for this work.
