Mackenzie District Council is the territorial authority for the Mackenzie District of New Zealand. Its headquarters are at Fairlie.
The council is led by the mayor of Mackenzie, who is currently Scott Aronsen. There are also seven ward councillors. Following a cancer diagnosis that Munro made public in late 2024, she took extended leave from January 2025, with Karen Morgan as deputy mayor filling in. On 21 July 2025, Munro announced that she would not return from annual leave, but had to resign over uncertain health outlooks. Munro asked Morgan to remain in her acting role until the 2025 New Zealand local elections.
