Wellington City Council has confirmed its Te Tauihu Maori language policy.

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.

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.

Mayor Lester also celebrated the gift by mana whenua of a new name for
Civic Square.

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.

Taranaki Whanui is also working with the council on names for the Botanic
Gardens and Town Belt.
