Tūwharetoa ki Kawerau MWWL extends our heartfelt congratulations To branch executive member Mal Dowie on her inauguration as a Councilor elect of the Kawerau District Council.
We are immensely proud to acknowledge this significant milestone and the dedication, humility, and integrity that have guided Mal throughout her journey. Her appointment is a reflection of her unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of our hapori and her steadfast desire to see positive change for our community.

This achievement stands as an inspiring reminder of what can be accomplished when courage meets purpose. It encourages all our members to be bold in stepping forward — to lend their voices, wisdom, and lived experience to the tables where important decisions are made. Our perspectives and values are needed in those spaces.
Mal’s success is not only her own; it is a reflection of the strength and spirit of wāhine who serve, uplift, and lead with heart. We celebrate her with immense pride and look forward to witnessing the positive influence she will continue to bring to our district.
He wahine toa, he wahine whakaaweawe — a woman of strength, a woman who inspires.
