About this Website
This page describes the design, management and maintenance of the website www.pcc.govt.nz owned and operated by the Porirua City Council, New Zealand.
Website provides information about Council services
This website is designed to provide information about the Porirua City Council and its services to the residents and citizens of Porirua City. It uses a database-driven content management system with dynamic menu navigation to increase speed of operation. There are several customised modules which use information generated from in-house databases or online systems (Cemetery Records, Events Calendar, GIS Maps, Property and Rates and the Library Catalogue) and internal records (Meeting Documents). These modules will open in a new window. Instructions for their use are given on the page where the link exists where appropriate.
The site content, structure and maintenance is carried out by Porirua City Council staff. You can send your comments or suggestions to the webmaster@pcc.govt.nz.
