KAIPARA COUNCIL POISED TO BECOME FIRST TO CAN MĀORI WARD
Kaipara District Council could become the first council in New Zealand to can its Māori ward under new legislation.
The council is expected to “disestablish” its first-term Te Moananui o Kaipara Māori ward at a short-notice extraordinary meeting in Mangawhai on Wednesday
This means the ward, set up in October 2022, will be gone before the next local elections in October next year.
Should Kaipara District Council (KDC) vote to get rid of the ward, on Wednesday, it will become the first council to do so after the Local Government (Electoral Legislation and Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Act became law this week.....
