Introduction

The Waitakere Ethnic Board, WEB advocates for and represents the views of migrants and refugees who reside in Waitakere to Local and Central Goverment and speaks on behalf of these communites on issues of concern to ensure settlement in Waitakere is enhanced.

WEB organises popular community events that celebrate our diversity; including the Intercultural festival to celebrate Race Relations Day, the Moon Festival celebrations and Diwali.

WEB forums represent the views of Waitakere'sethnic community and we create space for different ethnic groups to meet and exchange ideas and information.

The Waitakere City Council (WCC) recognises that there are different needs and interests amongst other ethnicities in our culturally diverse city. WCC therefore has a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with WEB. The WEB Board (Community Leaders representing different ethnic groups) has an indirect network established with the diverse ethnic communities. The WEB also is a Diversity Partner with the Office of the Race Relations.

If you or your organisation represent an ethnic community group and you're based in Waitakere City, then we encourage you to join WEB - you can download the application form here (76K/PDF)...
