Manawatū District Council has voted today to defer the decision around the establishment of Māori Wards until 2023, with a representation review to be held in 2024. The Council decided by a majority of 6 – 4 to defer, with one abstaining due to a conflict of interest.
This allows for more wider community consultation and education regarding what a Māori Ward means for the residents of the District, which in turn we hope will lead to widespread community support for the establishment of Māori Wards.
