among other things, taking into
account the Treaty of Waitangi. Furthermore, schedule
10 of the Local Government Act 2002 requires the
Council to set out in its long-term plan any steps it
intends 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, Ngati
Ruanui, Ngāruahine, Taranaki Iwi, Te Atiawa, Ngati
Mutunga,
are located higher on the shore than these species typically occur. Instead, the results of
the rocky shore SEM programme provide a record of species richness, diversity and composition at
representative reef sites around the region. These records can be used to assess the ‘health’ of the reef
environment.
Around the Taranaki coastline, particular reefs are regarded as property of distinct hapu. Iwi and hapu
associations with the six SEM reef sites are outlined in Figures 1 – 6.

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
activities.
This increased role mirrors the desire of iwi o Taranaki to exercise Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge, cultural practices
and world view) over the resources within their
statements prepared under the RMA and also take into account
matters identified in iwi management plans as well as district plans.
The figure below summarises this hierarchy of planning documents.

Act and the Natural and Built Environments Act.

anything of concern along the pipeline easement, so it can be assumed the leak
started approximately between 14th September and 8th October.

close to the leak point, were depressurised and use

Government must continue to make the
completion of Treaty settlements in
Taranaki a priority.
Good progress has been made on Treaty
settlements with all bar one (of eight) iwi
having now settled their Treaty claims. The
remaining iwi (Ngati Maru) are currently in
negotiations with the Crown. Claims
relating to the Mounga are under
negotiation. A reconciliation between the
Crown and Parihaka has recently been
completed (9 June 2017) and a
