We urge the Council to work with Ngāti Maru when developing
and implementing the plan.
4. Many hapū and iwi still oppose Crown authority over land and sea. The Foreshore and Seabed Act
2004, which extinguished customary Māori property rights to the coastal areas, and the subsequent
Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011, are recent examples of legislation that
demonstrate the on-going debate as to who controls the coast and sea. It is our understanding that
all
the associated recommendations are consistent with the policy
documents and positions adopted by this Council under various legislative frameworks
including, but not restricted to, the Local Government Act 2002, the Resource Management
Act 1991 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

from an incident which arose during the siege of Otaka
Pa by neighbouring northern iwi in 1832. When discussing terms for peace a chief from the neighbouring iwi,
sought permission to go into Otaka to hold a tangi for his dead warriors. One inhabitant, Te Whau, ran out
towards the taua, was killed and her body dismembered and thrown into the stream. The stream was then
called Waitapu - wai (water) and tapu (sacred). This stream still runs through Waitapu Urupa today.
