MĀORI WARDS VOTED IN AT TCDC
In a unanimous vote today, Thames-Coromandel District Council voted that a Māori ward or wards be established in Thames-Coromandel District in time for the 2025 local elections.
Under the Local Electoral Act, this decision now triggers a representation review that will consider the detail of the wards, such as how many and their names and boundaries, and how many councillors in total TCDC will have. This review process is heavily prescribed under the Act and will involve considerable public consultation. However, the review process does not revisit the decision to have Māori wards.
Tuesday’s decision means the Thames-Coromandel district will have a Māori ward or wards for at least the 2025 and 2028 local elections.....
