Programme is indeed an integrated, cost effective, fair, comprehensive, robust,
and scientifically-based programme designed and managed to deliver sustainable management of
natural and physical resources in Taranaki.
In September 2020 the Government released its freshwater package which included a greater
recognition of iwi values in resource management and more of a partnering role for the Council and
iwi going forward. Given this the monitoring strategy will be reviewed once
current consent limit is often not met.
Over the past three years, NPDC have implemented a comprehensive monitoring programme, regular
system inspections and ongoing maintenance work. Plans are in place for a North Taranaki wastewater
treatment plant, which has secured funding and is included within the NPDC 10-year plan. Through
negotiations with the Council, Iwi and the Company, it has been concluded that the current discharge
consent limit cannot be complied with going forward. New consent
Okahu-Inuawai
The tuturu takiwa of the Okahu-Inuawai hapū extends, "from seaward on the eastern mouth of the
Waingongoro awa to the Maunga, thence turning following the western side of the Wairere Stream back to
seaward, Tawhiti-nui, Hawaiki-nui, Tawhiti-roa, Hawaiki-roa, Tawhiti-pamamao, Hawaiki-pamamao. The hapū

statements made by the iwi of the particular cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional
association of the iwi with the statutory areas.
1.1 Purposes of statutory acknowledgements
The purposes of statutory acknowledgements are
(a) to require consent authorities, the Environment Court and the Historic Places Trust to have
regard to the statutory acknowledgements;
(b) to require relevant consent authorities to forward summaries of resource consent
applications for
Crossing, an emerging ‘Great
Walk’ set to boost the region’s burgeoning reputation as a visitor destination.
The Council is also confident about its plans to build on recent gains in freshwater quality; to develop its
education programme; and to broaden and deepen its relationship with iwi and hapū.
Financially, the impact of our proposals is relatively minor. There is an increase of 4.5 percent in the general
rates take for 2018/2019. In the last three years, the average general rates
our ‘rulebook’, the Freshwater and Land Plan, to tease out issues and potential fixes. There’s been a raft
of scientific studies and we’ve also been running a series of hui with iwi and other water users.
The Council is still aiming to have a proposed new plan ready for notification in mid-2020.
Pukeiti, Tūpare & Hollard Gardens
A firm focus on presentation, interpretation and sound horticultural practice at the three heritage properties,
Pukeiti, Tūpare and Hollard Gardens,
to take to foster the development of Māori
capacity to contribute to the decision making processes
over the period covered by the Plan. There are eight
recognised iwi in the region, Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi, Ngāti
Ruanui, Ngāruahine, Taranaki Iwi, Te Atiawa, Ngāti
Mutunga, Ngāti Maru and Ngāti Tama.
POLICY DEVELOPMENT
Opportunities were provided to Māori to be involved in
the development of policy and in particular input was
sought or opportunities provided in
Council officers. Engagement
with iwi and hapu have resulted in the formulation of the Mangorei Forum in 2019 which
includes representatives of 11 hapu and iwi. The above stakeholders have all been provided
site visits, draft versions of the technical assessments, presentations from some of the authors
page
of the technical reports and access to the authors for queries and discussion. Trustpower has
incorporated and acknowledged much of the feedback

Iwi considerations
23. 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 and/or annual plan. Similarly, iwi involvement in adopted work
programmes has been recognised in the preparation of this
