The Board’s mission is to advance the interests of Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau by:
Helping Auckland Council to make decisions, perform functions and exercise powers that improve outcomes for Māori
Promoting cultural, economic, environmental and social issues of significance to Māori.
The Board also ensures that Auckland Council acts in accordance with statutory provisions relating to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
The Board works widely and collaboratively to advance Māori interests, however the Board is not a substitute for direct engagement and consultation with mana whenua and mātāwaka in Tāmaki Makaurau.
