Hamilton City Council has committed to strengthening Māori representation and participation, including consideration of Māori wards, following the adoption of a wider strategy to improve outcomes for Māori.

With just one week to go, the consultation
period for a new draft Strategy from Hamilton City Council
is attracting keen interest from Hamiltonians and others
providing feedback on the document.
He Pou Manawa Ora
– Pillars of Wellbeing recognises Maaori as key partners
in determining Hamilton’s future. It covers issues ranging
from city artworks to Council policies. It is also based on
Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti O Waitangi) principles of
Partnership, Participation, Protection and Prosperity. These
inform the Strategy’s four ‘pillars’ or ‘pou’ of
wellbeing: History, Unity, Prosperity and
Restoration.
“I’m pleased to see
A crowd gathers for Hamilton City Council s launch of He Pou Manawa Ora – Pillars of Wellbeing. The Captain Hamilton statue was hastily removed by the council following threats by a Waikato kaumātua, Taitimu Maipi, to tear down the life-sized monument during a weekend Black Lives Matter march last year. Maipi attacked the statue using a claw hammer and red paint in 2018, arguing Hamilton was a “murderous a..hole”. Southgate said He Pou Manawa Ora will guide how the city acknowledges and celebrates its history and expects “cultural hurts” to be explored and discussed. He Pou Manawa Ora would have helped frame council’s decision-making when the Captain Hamilton statue was first offered to the city by the Gallagher Group, the mayor said.
