Maori Language Policy

 

Resolution number HB/2016/152

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson AG Sayers, seconded by Member GA Harding-Kirikiri:  

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a)      provide the following feedback on the draft Māori Language Policy and the draft Māori Language Implementation Plan and Māori Language Guidelines to inform the recommended approach to be presented and considered by the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee at its September 2016 meeting:

i.       The local board supports dual bi-lingual signage only in appropriate locations on a case by case basis and are concerned about cost implications

ii.      A clear implementation plan including funding commitment from council will be required

iii.     Estimated that 65% of new road names in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area are Māori so the 5% target is currently being exceeded

iv.     Proposed Māori road names often need the English translation as the meaning can assist more informed decision-making and understanding

v.      Support the presentation of the draft Māori Language Policy document in both English and Māori as this is more enabling

vi.     Should not assume relevance in every local board area as there are areas of Auckland where Māori language has limited recognition and there should not be pressure to select Māori names if they are not appropriate to an area

vii.    Refreshing to see Te Reo and English used to show and inform, but need to look at costs and practical ways to implement going forward

viii.   Overall support for the vision and plan to integrate Māori language as it helps to learn both languages but must also acknowlege Auckland’s diversity and that other languages are also prevalent.
