Great day with a fab volunteering crew - despite the wind regularly blowing things away. Got lots of people enrolled to vote and gave away all the lollies and heaps of resources. Thanks Pōneke! #ToitūTeTiriti #ToitūTeAroha

Feeling reconnected to te taiao after experiencing summer’s swimming holes, rock pools, climbing-trees, and the song of cicada? The protection of parks and reserves and creatures that call them home are the mahi of regional councils in meaningful partnership with mana whenua.

Have you heard about the plan to abolish Regional Councils to increase central government control? Local decision-making by councillors and mana whenua with a range of knowledge and perspectives could be lost. Read more on tiritiactiongroup.nz website and make a submission!

Coming up in 2026: Waitangi Day, 6 February 2026 Te Tiriti signed in Pōneke, 29 April. We will support Mana Whenua to mark the day of the signing on Wellington harbour. General Election campaign 2026 Please email us if you would like to be involved: tiritiactiongroup@gmail.com

Encouraged by this momentum and off the back of our very successful campaign to keep Māori wards and the Māori constituency in local government, we are continuing our mahi in 2026. We would love for you to be involved.
