HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Māori Committee

Tuesday 06 August 2019

Subject: Presentation from Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd

Reason for Report

1. Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, Napier City Council, Hastings District Council, Wairoa District Council and Central Hawke’s Bay District Council have statutory and regulatory consent requirements that lead at some point to engagement and consultation with tāngata whenua.

2. Notwithstanding a functional role difference between Regional and District or City Councils, engagement with tāngata whenua, iwi and hapū is often fraught with difficulty. This can be as simple as not knowing who to engage with from a council perspective to a lack of specialty or technical knowledge and capacity across tāngata whenua to contribute to or respond to council.

3. Mahaanui Kurataiao is a charitable resource and environmental management advisory company established in 2007 by six Papatipu Rūnanga to assist and improve the recognition and protection of tāngata whenua values in their takiwā. Mahaanui Kurataiao is acknowledged by local government in that rohe as the preeminent ‘go to’ place for consents on behalf of those papatipu.

4. This report is to give profile to Mahaanui Kurataiao as an operating model worthy of our attention, investigation and potential import/adaptation to Hawkes Bay region.

Background

5. In November 2018 Te Pou Whakarae attended the Special Interest Group Māori (SIG Māori) held at Environment Canterbury, Christchurch. Mahaanui Kurataiao presented at the SIG. In early 2019 the HBRC Māori Standing Committee (MSC) was appraised in very general terms of Mahaanui Kurataiao.

6. Te Pou Whakarae met recently with his conterpart at Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Kataraina O’Brien. Bay of Plenty and Tauranga Moana have moved to adopt and adapt Mahaanui Kurataiao across their rohe. Last month the Chief Executive of Mahaanui Kurataiao, Tania Wati, visited Bay of Plenty to profile and assist that region’s understanding of Mahaanui Kurataiao.

7. At the 9 April 2019 meeting, the Māori Committee directed Te Pou Whakarae and the Māori Partnerships Team to arrange for Mahaanui Kurataiao to present to MSC.

8. A copy of the Mahaanui Kurataiao presentation has been included in our meeting pack today to give more insight into the model and to prepare us for a presentation and workshop with Mahaanui Kurataiao on Tuesday 6 August 2019 (next MSC day).

9. An invitation to attend the 6 August session will be sent to Regional Planning Committee tangata whenua members. A 2nd half day session with elected councillors and local government agencies is planned with the Mahaanui Kurataiao team on Wednesday 7th August 2019. Venues t.b.c

Decision Making Process

10. This paper does not require a decision today. It merely informs you of the 6^th August 2019 presentation and workshop with Mahaanui Kurataiao. Between now and then we would encourage you familiarise with:

10.1. Your Iwi Environmental Management Plan and how well integrated that is in your business relationship with local government

10.2. Highlights or issues in regard to current consenting practices with council

10.3. Local in-house capacity/capability in this regard and more broadly the demand/supply conundrum that generally besets tāngata whenua

Recommendation

That the Māori Committee receives the “Presentation from Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd” and notes the presentation and workshop with Chief Executive Tania Wati on Tuesday 6 August 2019.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Māori Committee

Tuesday 06 August 2019

Subject: August 2019 Statutory Advocacy Update

Reason for Report

1. To report on proposals forwarded to the Regional Council and assessed by staff acting under delegated authority as part of the Council’s Statutory Advocacy project.

2. The Statutory Advocacy project (Project 196) centres on resource management-related proposals upon which the Regional Council has an opportunity to make comments or to lodge a submission. These include, but are not limited to:

2.1. resource consent applications publicly notified by a territorial authority,

2.2. district plan reviews or district plan changes released by a territorial authority,

2.3. private plan change requests publicly notified by a territorial authority,

2.4. notices of requirements for designations in district plans,

2.5. non-statutory strategies, structure plans, registrations, etc prepared by territorial authorities, government ministries or other agencies involved in resource management.

3. In all cases, the Regional Council is not the decision-maker, applicant nor proponent. In the Statutory Advocacy project, the Regional Council is purely an agency with an opportunity to make comments or lodge submissions on others’ proposals. The Council’s position in relation to such proposals is informed by the Council’s own Plans, Policies and Strategies, plus its land ownership or asset management interests.

4. The summary outlines those proposals that the Council’s Statutory Advocacy project is currently actively engaged in. This period’s update report excludes the numerous Marine and Coastal Area Act proceedings little has changed since the previous update.

Decision Making Process

Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision making provisions do not apply.

Recommendation

That the Regional Planning Committee receives and notes the “August 2019 Statutory Advocacy update” staff report.
