A by-election is set to be held in the Arrowtown ward of the Queenstown Lakes District.
This follows the resignation of Councillor Lex Perkins, who has decided to stand down to travel around New Zealand and Australia with his wife.
Mr Perkins had held positions on a number of councils over the last couple of decades.
Nominations will run for four weeks and close on March 5.
