Māori Wards and Our Community

Māori Wards and Our Community:

This local election you will be asked if you want to keep our TCDC Māori Ward. But what do you actually know about Māori wards???

Join us to hear from an experienced panel.

Andrew Judd:
Pākehā. In 2013, Andrew was elected Mayor of Ngāmotu/New Plymouth. In the process of trying to adopt a Māori ward in his district, Andrew experienced first hand the conflicting positions in his community about fair Māori representation.

Ngāti Raukawa ki Wharepūhunga, Ngāti Maniāpoto. Dale-Maree has been the Māori ward councillor in Wāipa since 2022 and has seen Māori wards improve representation, inclusive decision making and social cohesion.
