Māori
- Working with iwi
-
Greater Wellington has been developing ways in which to raise the level of understanding of councillors and council staff in matters Māori and that of iwi in Council business.
- Our responsibilities to iwi
-
The Resource Management Act 1991 recognises that iwi have a special cultural and spiritual relationship with the environment. So when making a decision on resource consent applications, we must recognise and provide for the relationship of Māori.
- Iwi projects
-
Greater Wellington has undertaken a number of initiatives to strengthen its relationship with iwi, and has addressed this by providing a pool of funds to enable iwi to undertake projects, either by themselves or in partnership with Greater Wellington.
- Māori history of the Greater Wellington region
-
The Wellington region has a long and eventful Māori history, not the least of which is its Māori identification as "Te Upoko o Te Ika a Maui" or the Head of Maui's fish.
- Our region's iwi
-
In the Charter, we refer to this group as Te Tangata Whenua o te Upoko o te Ika a Maui, or simply 'the tangata whenua of the region'.
- Consult iwi

This section covers details of how to consult with iwi relating to matters such as resource consent applications, details of the region's iwi, and their contact details.
