Announcements by the Chairperson

The Chair spoke on the 10 year celebration of the Pukemokimoki Marae and invited Mr Aranui as a member of the Pukemokimoki Marae Trust to speak on it also.  Key points made included:

 

- The 10 year celebration was very successful, and appreciation was expressed to Council for its ongoing support to the Marae and for enabling the Māori Consultative Committee to give Māori a seat around the table to effect change. 

- The celebration was a good opportunity to reflect on the last 10 years, in particular, the aspirations of the people for the Marae, and consider the Marae into the future.   The Marae is built for all generations and has to be part of the community and walk alongside the people and the Council.   

- The Marae is a place for people to congregate and kaupapa.  The Marae is part of the community, it is the people who make it what it is. Tangi are also a large focus of the Marae business.

 

The Chair also mentioned the 150 year celebrations at the St Joseph’s Māori Girls College, and the new whare being planned at the Wharerangi Marae.

1.1     Purpose of Report

To outline the feedback received from the community engagement on Māori Wards and seek a decision from Council on whether to establish Māori Wards for the 2019 election.

 

At the Māori Consultative Committee meeting

On Māori representation, the Committee spoke on the following points:

- The key question is whether there is adequate representation on the Council for Māori representation – do Māori have a voice.  This point was made considering whether there are Māori wards or whether there is another mechanism to achieve it.  

- The work that Council is undertaking on its Māori strategies was seen as very positive and a way of ensuring there is adequate representation and a voice.

-  It is important to encourage more Māori to stand as candidates in the local government elections.  However it was noted that even if there were more Māori elected onto Council, this would not replace council’s obligations to rangatiratanga. 

- The greatest value may be in involving Māori early on in what Council is developing.  An example of this is already in motion in the work being undertaken on the Aquarium, where Māori have been engaged from the conception stage, rather than towards the end of the design of a project. 

Māori Consultative Committee's recommendation

That the Council resolve that the Committee’s recommendation be adopted.

Committee's Recommendation

Councillors Wright / Brosnan

That Council

a.       Do not establish Māori Wards in Napier City for the 2019 and 2022 local elections.
