Ngā iwi o Te Tauihu and the mayors of Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council and Marlborough District Council this week signed Kia Kotahi Te Tauihu, Together Te Tauihu Partnership Agreement.
They say the agreement represents an opportunity for iwi and council partners to work collaboratively on matters of mutual interest in a way that addresses some of the broader strategic regional challenges.
“The agreement recognises the important and unique roles that both iwi and councils play in social, cultural, environmental, and economic wellbeing of Te Tauihu. It seeks to weave these aspirations more closely together to strengthen Te Tauihu as a region and deliver shared aspirations more effectively,” the Councils said in a statement.
