Interesting Facts

The Local Government Act 2002 includes recognition of the Crown's Treaty responsibilities and requires local authorities to:

Establish processes to give Māori an opportunity to contribute to decision-making and to consider ways to foster Māori capacity to do so
Consult Māori where their interests may be affected by a decision of a local authority
Take into account the relationship tangata whenua have with their ancestral lands and waterways.

What has changed since the LTCCP

At its October 2009 meeting Council approved a comprehensive Māori Development and Engagement Action Plan. This builds on key objectives included in the LTCCP.
The action plan aims to encourage Māori input to, and participation in, Council decision-making processes, as well as improving the ways in which Council works with Māori at a number of different levels.
