Dunedin Mayor Jules Radich has acknowledged the contribution of Mosgiel-Taieri Community Board member Brian Miller, who died on Monday.
Mr Miller was 78 and died in Dunedin Hospital after a short illness, his death notice said.
He was a long-serving board member, first elected in 1995. He subsequently served three more terms from 2001-04, 2010-13 and from 2019.
He was also a member of the working party overseeing development of Te Puna o Whakaehu, the new Mosgiel swimming pool complex.
Mr Radich described Mr Miller as a passionate advocate who was full of enthusiasm and vigour.
"Mr Miller was one of those local community leaders who never left you in any doubt about his views, and who had a knack for capturing the community’s attention, including in his election campaigns."
Former deputy board chairman Dean McAlwee said Mr Miller fought for what he believed in.
An obituary will follow.
