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.
Iwi considerations
16. 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
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).
