Whenua Maori Strategy

It provides a blueprint to do this, outlining a clear vision, values, outcomes and actions on five key focus areas to guide Council’s governance and operational decision making in a way that supports whānau, hapū and iwi to utilise whenua Māori, a taonga tuku iho. The blueprint sets out a programme to review and investigate Council policies and processes with the aim of removing barriers to the use, development and occupation of whenua Māori by its landowners.
