About 40 submissions have already been received on the Dunedin City Council's proposed representation review.
The controversial proposal includes changing the number of community boards in the city from six to five and adjusting their boundaries so urban areas are not covered.
The number of elected members on each board would drop from six to four.
It would also see the council elected at large, meaning there would no longer be wards and councillors would be voted for by all residents.
The proposed changes follow an independent review of the council's representation arrangements.
The recommendations were adopted for consultation and public submissions sought.
People can access submission forms from the council website, Dunedin public library, or customer service centres.
Submissions close on July 27.
