only one voice amongst eleven however a very important voice for Maori. The Taranaki Regional Council has established 3 Iwi positions on The Policy and Planning Committee as well as The Consents and Regulatory Committee which they say is mandated by the Te Tiriti which does give them a vote on their committees but not a vote on the full regional council.
