features horticulture sites, a stream, a pathway, and an anchorage on the Ohunuku foreshore and

hapū of Ngāruahine Iwi continue to use the area as a whare waka and
records. Details of about 800 sites have been compiled and officers are now working with individual iwi and hapū on changes and modifications. They’re also working with the region’s three district councils. Tangata whenua participation is crucial to the project, the Committee was told, and this work will not be rushed. The Council will take a flexible and supportive approach, recognising that iwi and hapū may need to devote their time and resources to other issues as well. The exercise is part of the
interests of the region, while the Council as a whole also signed a declaration. Councillors also endorsed the Elected Members’ Code of Conduct. A powhiri was held before the meeting to welcome councillors and iwi representatives, with the Council’s leadership team and guests in attendance. The first ordinary meeting of the new Council is set down for 1pm on 8 November at Port Taranaki, at which the structure and chairs of Council committees will be confirmed. The full meeting agenda will be available
