Your submission
Do you support the establishment of a
Maori constituency for Taranaki
Regional Council? (choose one)
No
Comments: There is already equity in terms of representation and consultation when it
comes to Maori. For example the iwi liaison and all the required iwi
consultation on consents etc.
To establish this only creates division based on race by giving special
preference to certain race.

occurred under the emergency works provisions of the Resource Management Act 1991 after all other
options had been considered. Since then, the shellfish monitoring programme has been revised in
consultation with STDC and iwi to better understand the effects of the discharge. Furthermore, the renewed
discharge consent now includes emergency discharge provisions to improve how these events are managed
in the future.
For reference, in the 2017-2018 year, consent holders were found to achieve a
gear. The results from this trial suggest that the timed-count method for pāua and kina might not be the
most suitable method for this reef during siginificant sand inundation events. It was recommended that
further discussion is undertaken with iwi to find an alternative survey method that would be more effective,
along with discussing what alternative cultural health indicators are important, and how they could be
monitored (e.g. mapping and monitoring of mussel beds).

current RMA provisions to create a new freshwater policy, planning and management regime that
impacts everything from farm practices to urban subdivision. Implementing this regime will be the largest single project
in Council’s history.
THE ROLE OF IWI
These reforms also give tangata whenua a greater role in freshwater management by focusing on Te Mana o Te Wai (the
integrated and holistic well-being of water) and requiring a partnership approach to developing plans and managing
iwi consultation in June
2024.
Alterations to monitoring programmes for 2024/25
In designing and implementing the monitoring programmes for air/water discharges in the region, the
Council has taken into account:
• the extent of information already made available through monitoring or other means to date;
• its relevance under the RMA;
• the Council’s obligations to monitor consented activities and their effects under the RMA;
• the record of administrative and environmental
Local Government Act 2002, the Resource Management Act
1991 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.
