Nga mihi

Māu e āwhina ki te whiriwhiri me pēhea tōu reo e rongo ai i te kaunihera.
You can help decide how your voice will be heard at the council table.

✅ Council voted to implement Māori wards in 2023, so we now need to consider how we represent community voices at the council table with Māori wards included. This is called a "Representation Review".

🗨 And we want your thoughts on how we can do this best!

We have drop-in sessions in a few places and times this weekend but a particular focus on our awesome Coast communities. Come say hi, have a korero and let us know your thoughts:

☀ Sat 13 Apr 9am-12pm at the Lion's Market
☀ Sat 13 Apr 10am-1pm - Pahaoa Marae
