Poll: Do you think we should have Māori wards?
The Council is seeking comments directly from key stakeholders, and we're also asking for your feedback.
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.
