Our Porirua - voice of a proud community
This website was launched in June 2013 with an all new purpose. it replaces a portal style website with this site designed to provide a genuine community voice.
A community voice will take time to grow. It will happen through websites joining into the ‘Our Porirua Online Community’ where they can use a new and unique ability to share content, website to website.
With initial and generous support from the Porirua City Council, Our Porirua is in the ownership and care of the Porirua City Community IT Educational Trust (e-Learning Porirua).
