The Wellington Region (also known as Greater Wellington) is a local government region of New Zealand that occupies the southern end of the North Island. It includes the cities (in order of population) of Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua and Upper Hutt, plus smaller towns. ==Local government== The region is administered by the Wellington Regional Council, which uses the promotional name Greater Wellington Regional Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Legal notices )〕 The council region covers the conurbation around the capital city, Wellington, and the cities of Lower Hutt, Porirua, and Upper Hutt, each of which has a rural hinterland; it extends up the west coast of the North Island, taking in the coastal settlements of the Kapiti Coast District, which includes the southern fringe of the area commonly known as Horowhenua and the town of Otaki; east of the Rimutaka Range it includes three largely rural districts containing most of Wairarapa, covering the towns of Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, Featherston and Martinborough. The Wellington Regional Council was first formed in 1980 from a merger of the Wellington Regional Planning Authority and the Wellington Regional Water Board. 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. The governing body of the regional council is made up of 13 councillors, representing six constituencies:〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Council and Councillors )〕 * Wellington – 5 councillors * Kapiti Coast – 1 * Porirua-Tawa – 2 * Lower Hutt – 3 * Upper Hutt – 1 * Wairarapa – 1 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wellington Region」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
