Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) is delighted to see Minister of Local Government Nanaia Mahuta announce the introduction of an amendment bill which aims to bring equality to the creation of local Māori wards.
LGNZ has been advocating for equality in the establishment of all wards for many years, by removing the poll provisions that only apply to Māori wards, including in an open letter to the Government in 2018 and more recently in the 2020 LGNZ General Election Manifesto.

Three Whangārei women who have publicly thrown their hat into the ring for the Northland Regional Council byelection are all in favour of Māori seats.
Whangārei s Fiona Douglas, Darleen Tana Hoff-Nielsen (Ngāpuhi) and Charlotte Toner all say having Māori seats is a plus for councils.
Northland Regional Council (NRC) has been forced into an $80,000 byelection after former deputy-chair and longtime councillor John Bain resigned on the spot and walked out of the council s October 20 meeting just before councillors voted for Māori constituencies.
