4 territorial authorities were located within the Hawke's Bay Region. 4 mayors and 45 district and city councillors were elected.

These were the first elections following the 1989 reforms to local government undertaken by the Fourth Labour Government; the previously existing local authorities in the region were abolished and new authorities were created in their place. The Hastings District Council and Central Hawke's Bay District Council were wholly new whilst the Napier City Council and Wairoa District Council continued with the same names and similar jurisdictions as prior existing authorities.
