8.1 Māori Representation

Staff Coral Hair, Manager: Democracy Services

A copy of the staff presentation for this item can be viewed on Tauranga City Council’s website in the Minutes Attachments document for this committee meeting.

Key points

· The report had been presented at an earlier meeting and Tangata Whenua had required some time to conduct wider consultations with Rangapū, iwi, hapū and other stakeholders.

· The report provided options and analysis on Māori Representation and Māori wards.

· The report considered voting rights for Tangata Whenua Representatives on the Council’s four standing committees.

· The PowerPoint presentation discussed the representation review, single transferable vote (STV) electoral system, the role of the Local Government Commission, key legislation and timelines relating to establishing Māori wards.

At 9.47am, Mr Puhirake Ihaka entered the meeting.

· The formula for establishing Māori wards was governed by the Local Electoral Act 2001 (LEA).

· If the number of Councillors remained at ten, and based on population statistics, there could only be one Māori ward for Tauranga City Council.

· There were three options for Māori representation: Option 1, establish a Māori ward for the 2022 elections; or Option 2, establish a Māori ward for the 2025 elections; or Option 3, have no Māori wards.

· On 21 July 2020, New Plymouth District Council’s elected members had voted (12 to 2) without community consultation to establish a Māori Ward for the 2022 elections.

In response to questions

· As part of the representation review, elected members could decide on how many councillors were required to provide effective representation. It could potentially increase the number of councillors from ten to eleven councillors.

· Given the current population statistics, only one Māori ward could be established.

· To change the legislation to allow Council to make a decision without the need for a poll would require political willingness however, any change would not be made in time for the 2022 election.

· While It would be more cost effective if a poll was undertaken with an election that was not the overriding consideration when making a decision on Māori representation.

· A Māori ward would cover the entire city.

· The results of the poll process would be binding for the next two election cycles.

· Statistically it was difficult to gauge if Māori participation had increased in the electoral process.

· Most times the polls on Māori Representation had not been successful and there were only three councils in New Zealand with Māori representation – Bay of Plenty Regional Council (introduced in 2001 by specific legislation), Wairoa District Council (result of poll in 2016 50% for, 42.5% against), Waikato Regional Council (introduced 2013 by Council resolution – no poll received in response to council resolution).

· Fundamentally, the Committee had to deliberate and ultimately decide whether Māori Representation was the best option for Māori.

Discussion points raised

· Te Rangapū had sent a letter seeking support from government and urging them to remove the poll clause from the LEA because it limited Māori ambitions and aspirations of establishing Māori Wards.

· The recommendations in the report were enablers and not a guarantee but could be steppingstones towards wider discussions regarding Māori representation.

· The Council had an obligation under the Treaty of Waitangi to encourage Māori contribution to decision making and separate Māori representation would meet this.

· The history of ongoing disparity that has resulted without Maori at the decision-making table needed to be recognised.

· The positive impact and experience of Māori representatives at Council committees showed how this would work in practice.

· That a Māori voice cannot be replicated by non-Māori no matter how well intentioned or well expressed; and

· The inequity that has been developed over time as the population has expanded making Māori a minority. Embodied by the fact that Māori representation has been absent at the Council decision making table for decades.

· The argument that the cost of the poll was a factor to be considered in support of Option 2 was not seen as relevant, given the size of the council’s annual budget and higher expenditure on community events.

· The Council would need to consider the views of the community that would be against establishing a Māori ward when it considered the Committee’s recommendations.

Committee Resolution MA3/20/3

Moved: Mayor Tenby Powell

Seconded: Cr Matire Duncan

That the Tangata Whenua / Tauranga City Council Committee:

Te Papa Project (New)	February 2020 · The Te Papa Spatial Framework provides opportunity for a distinctly Tauranga Moana response, providing steps towards ‘bringing Mana whenua presence back into the city’, and planting the seeds for greater cultural presence and consideration generally. The wharewaka was put forward as an example of bringing back Mana whenua presence into the city centre, with wider opportunities for mahi, carving, etc. · The need to understand Te Papa in its spatial context – Te papa refers to a particular place; this is indicative of the cultural narrative we need to build into the plan · Cultural and environmental aspects of the project support one another; moreover, there is opportunity to weave in the cultural narrative across all layers of the spatial framework · It’s important not to focus on singular focal points, but rather the cultural overlay throughout the peninsula. · Resourcing the project is important, particularly if we are to enable partnership between Mana whenua and Council.

Te Papa Project (New)

February 2020

· The Te Papa Spatial Framework provides opportunity for a distinctly Tauranga Moana response, providing steps towards ‘bringing Mana whenua presence back into the city’, and planting the seeds for greater cultural presence and consideration generally. The wharewaka was put forward as an example of bringing back Mana whenua presence into the city centre, with wider opportunities for mahi, carving, etc.

· The need to understand Te Papa in its spatial context – Te papa refers to a particular place; this is indicative of the cultural narrative we need to build into the plan

· Cultural and environmental aspects of the project support one another; moreover, there is opportunity to weave in the cultural narrative across all layers of the spatial framework

· It’s important not to focus on singular focal points, but rather the cultural overlay throughout the peninsula.

· Resourcing the project is important, particularly if we are to enable partnership between Mana whenua and Council. In this regard, Council will work with Mana whenua and make available appropriate resources to do so, including design assistance from Clinton Bowyer (TCC), and potential for other resources during hui and wananga, as appropriate.

· Council are currently working with the project’s Mana whenua reps to organise a wananga for the project – likely to be March 30/31.

October 2020

· On 24 September 2020, the Te Rangapū Mana Whenua o Tauranga Moana Partnership passed a resolution to endorse mana whenua’s inputs into the Spatial Plan and support its approval at the 13 October UFTD Committee meeting.

· Through the preparation of the Te Papa Spatial Plan, Council have worked in partnership with mana whenua, including representatives of Ngāi Tamarāwaho, Ngāti Tapu, Ngāi Te Ahi, Ngāti Ruahine and Ngāti Pūkenga, as well as wider engagement with iwi and hapū through the Te Rangapū Mana Whenua o Tauranga Moana Partnership.

· Mana whenua representation formed part of the Te Papa Design Sprint for the project in late 2019. As part of the Te Papa Design Sprint process, mana whenua identified the need for ongoing engagement to lay the foundation for how the partners work together moving forward. A key focus following the Design Sprint has been working in partnership with mana whenua, including through a series of wānanga in July and August 2020.

· The outcomes of the process include:

· Principles for engagement on future Te Papa related projects

· Mapping of cultural landscape and values

· Te Papa principles and outcomes, to input and guide future projects (relating to land use, open space, movement, cultural layers)

· Potential cultural related projects.
