<p></p><p>Wellington City Council has confirmed its Te Tauihu Maori language policy.</p>
<p>Mayor Justin Lester says it aims to make te reo a core part of
Wellington’s identity through ensuring it is widely seen, heard and
spoken in the capital.</p>
<p>The council will lead the way in incorporating te reo in its
decision-making processes and functions, in how it communicates, through
city signage, facilities, design and through cultural investment.</p>
<p>Mayor Lester also celebrated the gift by mana whenua of a new name for Civic Square.</p>
<p>Taranaki Whanui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika chair Wayne Mulligan says it’s
Te Ngakau meaning the heart, as the square is the centre and the heart
of the city for all ages, cultures and gatherings.</p>
<p>Taranaki Whanui is also working with the council on names for the Botanic Gardens and Town Belt.</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></div>
