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.
Iwi considerations
This memorandum and the associated recommendations are consistent with the Council’s
policy for the development of Māori capacity to contribute to decision-making processes
(schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 2002) as outlined in the adopted long-term plan
environmental and
resource management issues. This has been a productive first step, but the imperative from Government and iwi alike
is for all councils to do more.
For example, the Essential Freshwater reform includes requirements for greater Māori involvement. There are joint
and continuing efforts by the region’s iwi and local bodies to reach participation agreements known as Mana
Whakahono a Rohe, as set out in a 2017 amendment to the Resource Management Act (RMA).

The freshwater reforms give tangata whenua a

Essential Freshwater programme has been released and staff have developed an implementation programme. The programme
represents a significant shift for the Council and the Taranaki community. Work on the Natural Resources Plan, that will
