The role of Māori and iwi
We’ve embarked on a new approach in how we
kōrero with tangata whenua, moving towards a
partnership approach with the nine iwi o
Taranaki.
The freshwater reforms 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
role involves providing river and drainage advice in relation to consent and compliance
matters and requests from landowners, and assisting with works as directed by the Rivers Manager
to reduce the risks associated with flooding and erosion whilst protecting the life-supporting
capacity of Taranaki rivers and streams.
The role encompasses engagement with iwi and hapū, the local community and a wide range of
internal and external stakeholders to provide technical advice on drainage,

environmental and
resource management issues. This has been a productive first step, but the imperative from Government and iwi alike
is for all councils to do more.
For example, the Essential Freshwater reform includes requirements for greater Māori involvement. There are joint
and continuing efforts by the region’s iwi and local bodies to reach participation agreements known as Mana
Whakahono a Rohe, as set out in a 2017 amendment to the Resource Management Act (RMA).
