A Dunedin City Council report recommended two rūnaka​ representatives (one from each rūnaka – Kāti Huirapa ki Puketeraki Rūnaka​ and Ōtākou Rūnaka​) be appointed to the planning and environment and the infrastructure services committees and have voting rights.

Mayor Aaron Hawkins said it was a “significant day” for the city and mana whenua​ after the council passed the recommendation at its meeting on Wednesday.

This was not the end point, but a significant milestone for both parties made in this “most colonial of rooms”, he said at the council chamber. The vote passed 14-1, opposed only by Cr Lee Vandervis.

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Two builders putting “Central Otago in a bottle” are making waves worldwide for their locally-made gin.

Hamish Bourke, 32, and Stuart Clark, 42, are pursuing gin-making full-time after a successful showing at two awards ceremonies – one internationally and one in New Zealand.

The pair recently won two medals at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition and another two at the New Zealand Spirits Awards for gins they created earlier this year.

Distilling for Rifters gin began at Clark’s purpose-built shed in Arrowtown in August last year, and the boys were “completely gobsmacked” by their four big wins.
