Your submission
Do you support the establishment of a
Maori constituency for Taranaki
Regional Council? (choose one)
No
Comments: There are already Maori on committees who probably have a good
perspective of maori ideals.
We don't need a separate councillor who will probably have biased iwi
views.
I consider a separate Maori seat as racist.

Tangata whenua (people of the land) hold an inherited
responsibility through whakapapa (genealogical
relationships) to ensure the health and wellbeing of their
ancestral awa (rivers and streams) and other interconnected
aspects of te taiao (the natural environment).
Over centuries of occupation, local iwi and hapū relied on
te taiao to provide physical and spiritual sustenance. The
awa, ngutuawa (estuaries) and repo (wetlands)
role involves providing river and drainage advice in relation to consent and compliance
matters and requests from landowners, and assisting with works as directed by the Rivers Manager
to reduce the risks associated with flooding and erosion whilst protecting the life-supporting
capacity of Taranaki rivers and streams.
The role encompasses engagement with iwi and hapū, the local community and a wide range of
internal and external stakeholders to provide technical advice on drainage,
