Proposed Maori Ward

Wellington City Council is currently considering establishing a Māori ward for the 2022 local elections and they’d like to hear your thoughts.

At the 11 March 2021 Strategy and Policy Committee meeting, Councillors agreed in principle to establish a Māori ward.

Feedback received is not a vote, nor is it binding, rather it will help inform the decision. The results of this engagement will be reported back to Council’s Strategy and Policy Committee on 13 May 2021 and will be referred to Council for final decision on 19 May 2021. 

If it is passed, the Māori ward will come into effect for the 2022 local elections.

Consultation closes 5pm Wednesday 28 April.
