Question 5: What else
could we do to respond better to Maori needs and values?
Responses to this question were open ended and 68 comments were

initiatives or actions. Some comments expressed concern that Maori were being
advantaged over other ethnic or cultural groups. Some specific ideas were
proposed, for example:

but others also and is willing to share their culture - encouragement to
those who would like to know more”.
· “Better access to higher education, living conditions and
Maori based counselling”.
· “It would be great if we could take the lead around bilingual
signage. Story time in Te Reo at Ranui library would be great if it could
happen”.

our proposed Local Board Plan?
Responses to this question were open ended, and then coded against
