A meeting on the options for the future governance of the region at Masterton Town Hall attracted about 100 people.
Monday's meeting followed one in Carterton where about 30 people turned up and one in Featherston which drew about 50 people.
Greater Wellington Regional Council and three other Wellington councils- Kapiti, Porirua and Wellington - have joined to consult the community on two preferred options.
One has a single tier of representation - a mayor and up to 29 councillors - while the other has a mayor and fewer councillors in the first tier - up to 21 - but a second tier of up to eight local boards. The alternative would be the status quo.
Greater Wellington chairwoman Fran Wilde said: "It was pretty positive from what everyone said".
Wairarapa councils have already asked the community for feedback on a preferred option of a unitary authority, and a report by accountants Martin Jenkins on the viability of this will be released tomorrow.
