You are invited to a short Special General Meeting (SGM) of the Johnsonville Community Association Inc. (JCA) to be held starting at 7.30pm on Tuesday 11 November 2025 at the Johnsonville Community Centre.
The purpose of this SGM is to formally agree to re-register under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 (the 2022 Act) which came into effect on 5 October 2023 and to discuss and vote on the proposed revised constitution of the JCA and conduct any other business necessary to ensure that JCA maintains its status as an Incorporated Society under the the 2022 Act.
Ninety residents attended the final “Meet the Candidate” event on 17 September for our local Ward candidates.
We were fortunate to have all seven candidates attending for a very interesting and informative meeting – including a bit of drama at times. Great to see everyone so engaged in the democratic process, especially given the challenges facing Wellington.
After initial statements by candidates there were numerous questions from the audience – so much so that the meeting was extended and finally finished at 9:35pm with people continuing to engage with candidates as JCA members packed up the hall.
If you missed the event you can still watch on Youtube at https://youtube.com/live/KSZAFQSIi1s.
After our successful GWRC and Mayoral meetings, the third and final Ward Candidate meeting will be held in the Main Hall, Johnsonville Community Centre, entrance from Moorefield Road.
The doors will be open from 7pm so you can come early and chat to the candidates if you want.
The meeting proper will start at 7:30pm with candidates statements, followed by a short break, then a Q&A session with questions at random from the audience.
If you want to ask a question then take a raffle ticket as you enter or during the break. Questions will be selected at random.
If you are unable to attend then you can join on the night by livestream at https://youtube.com/live/KSZAFQSIi1s. Or you can view later using the same link. You can also ask questions via the livestream, just let us know before the Q&A session starts and we will assign a raffle ticket to your question.
Looking forward to another informative session on the 17th, see you there
JCA is grateful to Wellington City Council for funding to assist in running the Association.
