Whanganui mayor Hamish McDouall is looking to make good on his intention to have iwi representation on Whanganui District Council's three main committees.
He says the aim is to improve Māori participation in decision-making at the council table whether Māori wards are brought in or not, and representation with speaking and voting rights will be an advancement.
"In 2019 when I got re-elected I stood on the Opera House stage and I said I want iwi representation on the three main committees of council within this term.
