Nelson City Council has voted to establish a Māori ward in time for the 2022 Local Government elections.
Mayor Rachel Reese says it is a step towards a fair and effective representation that is inclusive of Māori communities within Nelson Whakatū.
Ngāti Kuia chair Waihaere Mason says it’s hard for iwi to understand the complicated business of councils and government if they are not part of the decision-making process.
