Responding to change
While there is no change to the work programme signalled in the 2021/2031 Long-Term Plan, our work will be
completed against a backdrop of significant and wide-reaching statutory and regulatory change.
We are responding to this fluid and challenging environment by building resilience in our programmes, policies,
frameworks and teams.
Strong relationships with iwi are key to the success of all of our work and new freshwater legislation includes
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.
