The Treaty Of Waitangi

Te Tiriti O Waitangi

Council recognises the obligations and responsibilities of the Crown under the Treaty of Waitangi and its responsibility to take into account the key principles of par tnership, protection, and par ticipation. These are captured in legislation, par ticularly through the requirements of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Local Government Act 2002. But fulfilment of Treaty obligations means more than simple adherence to statutory requirements. Council and its staff should be seen to be reflecting the spirit of the Treaty as part of business as usual.
