Taranaki Regional Council officers
are providing a number of iwi and
hapū in the region with training and
advice to allow them to monitor the
health of waterways.
The monitoring utilises a ‘Stream
Health Monitoring and Assessment
Kit’ (SHMAK) developed by
NIWA.
An initial approach for assistance
came from the region’s
Council, NIWA and others.
The project, Sharing the Waiwhakaiho, has
woven different threads of the river’s story into
multimedia presentations including website,
video and artworks.
A defining entity for three iwi and associated
hapu, the Waiwhakaiho River is one of more

Taranaki and one of the region’s largest rivers,

the awa was alive!

settlements in the
rohe, such as Ngā Motu and the Waitara River, were on the coast. The papakainga was
the centre of social, cultural, economic and spiritual well-being. Papapakainga such as
Puke Ariki, Purakau, Rewa Rewa and Mangatī were located on the coast close to the
valued resources of water, mahinga kai and kaimoana. The resources sustained and
nourished the iwi and were important to ensure survival and to maintain the spiritual,
cultural and economic prosperity of Te
decisions and processes
Noting that there are new and emerging requirements for the Council to ensure there is an effective
Māori voice in its decision-making and processes, we were keen to hear from the community on how
this could ideally be achieved.
Key feedback themes:
A divergence between those who believe greater Māori inclusion is healthy
and desirable, and those who believe all sectors should be treated as being the
same.
A clear and strong desire by iwi groups for
trade competitor for the purposes of section 308B of
the Resource Management Act 1991
