We have te Tiriti o Waitangi and legislative responsibilities to Māori across many of our functions and services. Our strategic and advisory entities help us to meet these responsibilities.
- Ngā Mātārae, our Māori Outcomes Directorate, provides strategic direction and measures how well we achieve outcomes for Māori and assists Māori with regulatory processes.
- Houkura (formerly the Independent Māori Statutory Board) helps us make decisions about issues of significance for mana whenua and mataawaka.
- Tāmaki Makaurau Mana Whenua Forum provides advice on national and regional issues.
We also have co-governance and co-management entities that make decisions on sites of significance, such as certain maunga and reserves.
