COMMISSION REJECTS BID FOR EXTRA MĀORI SEAT ON TRC
The Local Government Commission has rejected a last-ditch push for Taranaki Regional Council to have two Māori seats at this year's elections.
TRC voted last September to stick with 11 councillors, which meant one Māori constituency under election rules.
But an appeal to the Local Government Commission called for an increase to 13 councillors, so two seats would be decided by Māori electoral roll voters.
The commissioners have decided to stick with 11 councillors, including a single Māori constituency.....

TWO MĀORI SEATS FOR TAUPŌ COUNCIL
The Local Government Commission has determined Taupō District Council will have a single Māori ward with two councillors for the 2022 and 2025 elections.
The total number of councillors will be 12, with the Tūrangi/Tongariro Ward losing a councillor.
There is no provision for local boards, but the council is developing a Mana Whakahono ā Rohe partnership agreement with Ngāti Tuwharetoa hapū Ngāti Tūrangitukua to create what is effectively a co-governance community board for the Tūrangi township and its immediate surrounds.
