The Council's two key standing committees,
Consents & Regulatory and Policy &
Planning, each have three more members after
new Iwi appointments took up their positions
in August.
Under the terms of recent Treaty of Waitangi
settlements, all eight Iwi in the region were
involved in the selection process, with the
appointees chosen to ensure each Committee
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
lives
and protect property, and to help communities recover.
Recovery: The coordinated efforts and processes to
bring about the immediate, medium-term and long-
term holistic regeneration and enhancement of a
community following a civil defence emergency.
Strengthening
relationships with iwi
The CDEM Group is committed to working with iwi
through strengthening relationships and seeking their
involvement in local CDEM activities.
There are eight
