Taumarunui Ward has 5 elected members, the Waimarino Ward has 3, while the Waiouru, National Park and Ohura Wards have 2 elected members each.
Community Boards In addition there are four Community Boards and the Taumarunui Ward Committee. At present the Ohura Community Board has 5 members, National Park Community Board 6, Waimarino Community Board 9, and the Waiouru Community Board 6. The Taumarunui Ward Committee is made up of all the elected Taumarunui Ward members.
