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

Project Succeeded
Nelson City Council was a finalist for the Kāinga Ora Homes and Communities EXCELLENCE Award for Social Wellbeing at the 2022 LGNZ Excellence Awards. Iwi leaders reported more efficient collaboration with each other and the council since the platform's introduction.
