Māori representation in local government - timeline for further work

File No.: CP2022/02621

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To report back to the Governing Body on the timeline for further work following the Governing Body resolution in December 2021.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. At its meeting in December 2021 the Governing Body received the recommendations of a Joint Group in favour of the model of representation proposed by the Royal Commission for Auckland Governance. The Governing Body agreed to engage with Māori prior to determining its position on Māori representation into the future and resolved that a timeline of further work is reported back. This report outlines the proposed timeline.

3. The high-level timeline to the 2025 elections includes:

· local government elections in October 2022

· parliamentary elections in the last quarter of 2023 calendar year

· review of representation arrangements commencing early in 2024

· local government elections in 2025.

4. An Omnibus Bill will shortly be made available which will remove the set number of councillors on Auckland Council and will provide more detail around the process for establishing Māori wards. A draft submission will be reported in due course.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Governing Body:

a) whakaae / agree the timeline for further work as set out in this report

b) tuhi / note that feedback from the engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka will be reported to the August 2022 meeting of the Governing Body.

Horopaki

Context

5. The Joint Governing Body / Independent Māori Statutory Board meeting on 21 June 2021 agreed to establish a Joint Group to consider Māori representation in local government, and specifically on Auckland Council.

6. The Joint Group reported back to the Governing Body / Independent Māori Statutory Board meeting on 6 December 2021, supporting the model for Māori representation on Auckland Council recommended by the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance.

7. That meeting agreed that the Governing Body and Independent Māori Statutory Board would:

“…consider at their next individual meetings to support the Royal Commission model of Māori representation, enabling further engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka to receive feedback, and ultimately propose to the Minister of Local Government to implement this model as part of the Auckland Council Act in preparation for the 2022 Local Government elections or if this cannot be achieved then by the 2025 elections”. [JOI/2021/15]

8. A report was presented to the Governing Body meeting on 16 December 2021 which resolved [GB/2021/164]:

That the Governing Body:

a) tuhi / note the need to engage with mana whenua and mataawaka, in order to inform Auckland Council’s future position on Māori representation in local government

b) tuhi / note that the council’s current position is to support direct Māori representation based on the parliamentary model

c) whakaaroaro / consider its support for a model of Māori representation, including the Royal Commission model once all engagement is completed with mana whenua and mataawaka

d) whakaae / agree that staff bring a timeline for further work early in 2022.

9. This report presents a timeline for further work as directed by the above resolution.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

What is certain

10. The council will have the opportunity to decide on one or more Māori wards for the 2025 elections and must also conduct a review of representation arrangements for that election. The representation review will be carried out in 2024 with an initial proposal for arrangements for the 2025 election being publicly notified no later than 8 September 2024.

11. The ability to establish Māori wards is in the Local Electoral Act 2001 and has previously required that a council make a decision by 23 November in the year that was two years prior to an election. The early timeframe was to allow for a petition for a referendum and then for such a referendum to be held. The provision for a referendum was repealed in 2021. The Minister of Local Government has announced there will be an Omnibus Bill which will include new provisions relating to establishing Māori wards. Staff assume this will include detail on the timing of decisions that establish Māori wards and any requirements for public consultation.

12. The Omnibus Bill will also remove the set number of twenty councillors on the Auckland Council Governing Body so that the representation review is able to determine a different number.

13. It is therefore very likely that the council will be able, if it chooses, to establish a Māori ward, or wards, for the 2025 elections. The number of members to be elected from such a ward, or wards, is calculated using the formula in the Local Electoral Act 2001 and depends on the total number of councillors and on the “Māori Electoral Population”. The result is that if the Governing Body has 21 or 22 councillors then one of those may be elected from a Māori ward. If there are 23, or more, councillors then two may be elected from a Māori ward(s).

What we are engaging on

14. The Joint Group proposed that the council advocates for the Royal Commission model. The staff report recommended engaging with Māori before determining a position on Māori representation and this was agreed by the Governing Body on December 16, 2021.

15. The engagement with Māori will include seeking their feedback on the models already identified, including the Royal Commission model, but not confining feedback to just those models. Engagement will also canvass the view of Māori regarding the Māori ward option already in legislation.

16. Some local boards have separately raised the opportunity for Māori representation on local boards. It would be useful to obtain feedback from Māori on this.

Who we are engaging with

17. The focus of the engagement is with mana whenua and mataawaka, as resolved by the Governing Body in December 2021. The aim of the engagement is to provide the Governing Body with feedback on the preferred options of mana whenua and mataawaka.

18. There are 19 recognised mana whenua groups in Auckland. Ngā Mātārae and the Governance Services department are collaborating to arrange hui with organisations that are representative of the mana whenua groups.

19. Mana whenua and mataawaka engagement will be undertaken between April and July 2022. This engagement will begin with the Tāmaki Makaurau Mana Whenua Forum hui on 21 April 2022. Following the Forum hui, staff will invite iwi and hapū organisations to engage. We will also undertake engagement with mataawaka groups.

20. The closing date for feedback from mana whenua and mataawaka will be Friday 22 July. A report will be brought to the 25 August 2022 Governing Body meeting that presents the views expressed by mana whenua and mataawaka obtained through the engagement, to inform Auckland Council’s future position on Māori representation in local government.

Public consultation

21. In terms of a decision relating to establishing a Māori ward in accordance with the provision in the Local Electoral Act 2001 staff expect that the pending Omnibus Bill will provide the requirements for public consultation.

Timeline

22. Some of the dates below are tentative and will depend on the outcome of associated decisions.

April 2022	The Omnibus Bill is made publicly available Staff report this to local boards for their feedback
April 2022	Staff begin engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka
June 2022	Governing Body considers a draft submission on the Omnibus Bill, having received local board feedback and feedback from mana whenua and mataawaka.
August 2022	Governing Body considers a report following engagement with Māori. The report will contain feedback on establishing a Māori ward, or wards, and any other views put forward.
December 2022	The incoming Governing Body agrees the council’s position on Māori representation. The Governing Body considers the need for consultation concurrently with the Annual Plan
June 2023	Adoption of the Annual Plan. Any changes to the Governing Body’s position on Māori representation are finalised.
July 2023	Governing Body agrees the process for the review of representation arrangements to be carried out in 2024. Representation reviews are required every six years under existing legislation and are not specific to Māori representation. However, if council proceeded with implementing Māori representation, it would resolve to do so at this time.
February 2024	Likely commencement of the agreed process to review representation arrangements. This might include the development of an initial proposal through a working party.
July 2024	Governing Body resolves the council’s initial proposal for representation arrangements for the 2025 elections.
August 2024	Council publicly notifies its initial proposal for submissions.
October 2024	Council hears submissions and makes its final proposal. Council notifies its final proposal. Appeals and objections go to the Local Government Commission.
April 2025	The Local Government Commission will have determined all appeals and objections. The representation arrangements for the 2025 elections will then be final.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

23. A decision about Māori representation does not in itself impact on climate. Having a Māori world view contributing to decision-making would have a beneficial impact.

24. The Māori world view (te ao Māori) acknowledges the interconnectedness and interrelationship of all living and non-living things and provides a holistic approach to understanding the total system. In addition, there are the principles of kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the land) and the intergenerational duty to restore and increase the mauri (life force, vitality) of land and water, and to nurture the reciprocal relationship between tangata (people) and the whenua (land).

Council group impacts and views

25. This matter affects the composition of the Governing Body and does not impact the council group.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

26. Some local boards have expressed an interest in having Māori representation.

27. Staff intend to further this work, and if the Governing Body gave direction on carrying this forward, this would need to be included in future submissions for legislative change as there is currently no local board equivalent of a Māori ward.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

28. The Independent Māori Statutory Boards’ Schedule of Issues of Significance to Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau recognises that increasing Māori representation is a priority action for enhancing Māori leadership and participation in local government decision making. The Issues of Significance advocates for council to ensure that Māori are enabled to contribute to the long-term future of Auckland actively and meaningfully through representation on council.

29. The implementation of Māori wards in Tāmaki Makaurau is an integral mechanism to ensure that Māori can meaningfully contribute to the governance of Tāmaki Makaurau. Staff are motivated to ensure that consultation with mana whenua and mataawaka is reflective of the significance of this opportunity and aligned with the council’s treaty-based relationships.

30. Auckland Council’s charter includes a commitment to treaty-based partnership and mechanisms for council to consider in honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This includes a commitment to provide for effective Māori contribution within council decision making processes. The implementation of Māori wards is an important recognition of Te Tirti partnership.

31. Kia ora Tāmaki Makaurau – the Council’s Māori Outcomes Performance Measurement Framework guides council’s work with Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau. The framework includes Kia Ora Te Hononga – Improving Māori Participation as an outcome area. The implementation of Māori wards is a central mechanism in delivering on the aspiration of the framework in strengthening Māori participation in local government.

32. Māori electors have the option to be on either the Māori electoral roll or the general electoral roll. Those on the Māori electoral roll can vote for Māori ward candidates and those on the general roll can vote for general ward candidates. Any model involving an election cannot guarantee mana whenua representation.

Financial implications

33. Provision has been made in the 2021/2022 budget for this mahi. It may be necessary to roll forward any unspent budget into the next financial year.

Risks and mitigations

34. An initial and high level risk assessment is provided below.

Risks	Mitigations
a) Missing opportunities to achieve change through submission to the Omnibus Bill and the Future for Local Government review	Ensuring adequate opportunity for members to consider a submission on the Omnibus Bill to the select committee and input into the Future for Local Government Review
b) Council’s position is not supported by mana whenua or mataawaka	Staff can ensure that all opportunities are taken to advise on the rationale for council’s position. This mitigation is the limit of what staff can achieve if the political position remains unchanged

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

35. Following agreement by the Governing Body on the general timeline outlined in this report, engagement with Māori will commence with a view to reporting back to the Governing Body in August 2022.
