Nelson City Council, NZ co-designs Te Parikaranga engagement platform with Maori residents

Nelson City Council, NZ Te Parikaranga Maori Engagement

Complete

Local officials identified frustration among iwi - Maori tribes - with their limited opportunities for project input. Nelson City Council and Datacom worked with eight iwi for two years on this project. Te Parikaranga was built on the SharePoint platform used for other city projects. Iwi leaders apply the platform's color-coded system to pause projects (red), advance proposals without input (green), request more information (orange), or indicate a lack of time for input (blue).
