Wellington City to investigate establishing iwi seats
Yesterday a notice of motion was accepted to begin the process of investigating options to establish iwi seats.
It will mean a representative from each of Wellington’s two iwi – Te Āti Awa Taranaki Whānui and Ngāti Toa Rangatira – is appointed to all of the council’s committees and subcommittes by July next year.
Iwi representatives will be paid and have voting rights except at meetings of the full council, which can overturn decisions made by council committees.
