The Whakatāne District Council’s Policy Committee is keen to understand all viewpoints on the possibility of creating Māori Wards, prior to the next local government elections in 2019.
Following a wide-ranging discussion on ways to promote greater Māori involvement in decision-making, Councillors have agreed to pursue further investigations on the possibility of introducing Māori Wards and gather feedback from Iwi.
A report summarising all feedback will be presented to the Policy Committee later this year.
Vote in the poll, leave a comment below, or email us at info@whakatane.govt.nz to send your feedback.
