Tame Te Rangi, Chair of the Selection Body, said the body is excited by the combination of excellence and leadership represented by the group selected for the next term of the IMSB.

“The comprehensive and transparent selection process undertaken has ensured selections have been made thoroughly and on their merits resulting in high calibre representation for the Mana Whenua and Matawaka of Tamaki Makaurau,” Te Rangi says.

“It is fundamental to the role of the IMSB that it promotes the issues of significance for the Mana Whenua and Matawaka of Tamaki and ensures Auckland Council acts in accordance with Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Those appointed for this term of the IMSB certainly have all the necessary skills and I am confident they will serve all Maori of Tamaki Makaurau well over the next three years.”

The IMSB acts to ensure Auckland Council takes into account the view of Maori in Tamaki Makaurau when making decisions. The board works to improve Maori wellbeing and development for the benefit of all New Zealanders, particularly everyone who lives in, or visits, Tamaki Makaurau.

The Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 provides for the appointment of a board to promote issues of significance for Mana Whenua and Matawaka of Tamaki Makaurau.
