    Hutt City Councillors have voted to create a Maori Ward for the 2025 local government elections

    Hutt City Councillors have voted to create a Maori Ward for the 2025 local government elections


    A Maori Ward councillor would represent people of Maori descent alongside Mana Whenua and also to act in the best interests of the city as a whole.

    Mayor Campbell Barry says it represents Council's commitment to bring Maori voices into the heart of decision-making.
