Trevor Maxwell, MNZM
The local community, music, entertainment,
arts and culture have all played a large part in Trevor
Maxwell’s life.
Currently in his second term as the
city’s deputy mayor, Trevor is the district’s
longest serving district councillor with more than 28
years to his credit.
Born and raised in Rotorua, Trevor
became a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM)
for his long-standing services to Maori culture, the
arts and local government affairs in 2002.
He is chairman of the ‘Opera
in the Pa’ organising committee, leader of award-winning
cultural group, Ngati Rangiwewehi and Te Arawa representative
on the Aotearoa Performing Arts Committee. Trevor is
also on the Rotorua Civic Arts Trust and the Lakeside
Concert Charitable Trust, and is a member of the Rotorua
Tourism Advisory Board.
Having had the good fortune to have
travelled extensively, both in New Zealand and overseas,
Trevor still believes Rotorua is the best place on earth
to raise children and to care for our older people.
Trevor and the late Atareta Maxwell
have two children.
