KAWERAU COUNCIL REAFFIRMS MĀORI WARDS
If Kawerau electors want to have Māori wards on their district council after 2028 they will need to vote for them.
Kawerau District Council voted on Wednesday to reaffirm their decision, made in November last year, to have Māori wards at next year’s local elections.
