  2. Working with iwi Māori

Waikato Regional Council is charting a pioneering course towards the principles of partnership and collaboration in decision making with their Treaty partners. This innovative approach requires both the council and iwi to agree on their partnering destinations and shared points of convergence along the way. 

The collective strength of all will enhance relationship agreements moving forward and strengthen on-going engagement with iwi within and outside of Treaty Settlement arrangements.
