The proposed Whale Trail, in red, uses the stopbank behind properties in Tuamarina before joining SH1. The other option, sticking to the stopbank, in orange, needed landowners on board. It looked liked the wheels were finally in motion last year when the project received $18 million from the Government, putting it on the post-Covid “shovel-ready” list. But turning the first sod could be a ways away yet in Tuamarina. Residents aren’t happy with the route, which would take cyclists along the stopbank at the back of their houses, before taking a hard right at the community hall and left onto SH1 for 50 metres.
Marlborough councillors have voted to establish a Māori ward.
Tears ran as the Marlborough District Council made the landmark decision to create a Māori ward on Friday. Twelve councillors voted in favour of establishing a Māori ward councillor position at an extraordinary meeting at the Marlborough Events Centre on Friday morning. One voted against and one did not show up for the vote. Haka erupted from mana whenua following the decision. Councillors stood and responded with ‘Te Aroha’, a waiata about peace and love, and the audience joined in. The decision meant Marlborough will have one Māori ward councillor position from next year’s election. The Māori ward councillor could be voted in by people living anywhere in the region, as happens with the mayor, so long as those people were from the region’s Māori electoral population.
