Agenda of HDC - Maori Joint Committee Meeting

Hastings District Council: Māori Joint Committee – Terms of Reference

This Committee is established between the Hastings District Council and Māori within Hastings District, and shall have the status of a standing committee of the Hastings District Council.

Context and values

The Council views its fundamental role as being to help its communities to overcome the challenges they face and capitalise on the opportunities they have. The Council views Māori within Hastings District as an important part of its constituency, with their own customs, aspirations and, in some areas of Council activity, service delivery preferences. Council relates to Māori both as mana whenua holding customary authority in the District, and as citizens and service users in relation to the Council’s democratic, stewardship and service delivery functions. In order to be responsive to Māori in an effective manner, the Council puts in place a range of engagement and decision making mechanisms. This committee is one such mechanism.

· The Joint Committee has been established by the Council to provide a Māori perspective into the governance process of the Council. Further it is intended to assist the Council to meet the intent and spirit of the Council’s obligations set out in the legislation, including the obligations specified in the Local Government Act 2002 to take action:

− towards establishing and maintaining processes that provide opportunities for Māori to contribute to the decision processes of the Council and

− fostering the development of Māori capacity to contribute to those processes and

− providing information to assist Māori contribution to Council’s activities.

· The Council wishes the Joint Committee to assist it with the development of an integrated policy framework (based on Treaty of Waitangi Principles) for the Council aimed at delivering effective governance, engagement and service delivery for Māori within the District.

· For the avoidance of doubt, the existence of this committee does not in any way limit or remove the Council’s obligations under law to work with or consult with parties holding or exercising traditional authority recognised in statute or common law.

Ø To assist the Council as appropriate in conducting and maintaining effective, good faith working relationships with Māori within the District, including advice on governance arrangements.

Ø To provide policy advice, with respect to the District Plan, regarding provisions for Wāhi Taonga and Wāhi Tapu, Papakainga, and where relevant to tangata whenua, any other proposals for amendments to the Plan.

Ø To consider and recommend Māori capacity building initiatives within budget and resource constraints of the Council.

(Document 17/692)

The Senior Environmental Planner Policy (Special Projects), Mrs Sanders updated the Committee on the wāhi taonga review project.

Workshops had been held with hapu and agency stakeholder groups, facilitated by Karl Wixon. An additional workshop would be required to obtain the viewpoints of private property owners and developers before a project plan could be developed.

It was agreed that the Māori Joint Committee should assist in the project by giving assistance on engagement with hapu. This issue would be discussed further with hapu to provide a better understanding on what registering taonga would mean in regard to its protection under the District Plan.

The meeting agreed that the HDC : Māori Joint Committee should be involved in the discussions and the Chair lead the engagement as to date the process in regard to some submitters on this issue had been a disaster. This would be an opportunity to ensure that the right contacts are made and explain what processes could happen and put various sites into the district plan.

The Senior Environmental Planner Policy (Special Projects), Mrs Sanders advised that the Resource Legislation Amendment Act enacted on 18 April 2017, included new provisions around the way Māori were involved in the management of natural resources through iwi participation agreements known as Te Mana Whakahono a Rohe. Te Mana Whakahono a Rohe provided a mechanism for Councils to meet their existing obligations to consult with local iwi on resource management matters.

Mrs Sanders also advised that the Ministry for the Environment were working with an Iwi Advisors Group in regard to compiling a guidance document. When this document was available it was suggested that a Workshop could be held with iwi authorities to discuss what opportunities maybe available through Te Mana Whakahono a Rohe in respect to understanding, resources and timing in the future. Officers would continue to monitor the Ministry for the Environment (MFE) progress and release of the guidance document.

The Te Mana Whakahono a Rohe be included in the work programme and how it fits in and whether the Terms of Reference the Committee currently operate under are still valid.

6.	Te Mata Track (Document 18/110)
	The Environmental Policy Manager, Mr Wallis spoke to the report and advised that the resource consent that granted approval for the track on the east face of Te Mata Peak had raised questions as to whether the current Proposed District Plan framework adequately achieved the outcomes sought in respect of the Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes identified in the District, particularly in respect of ONFL 1 – Te Mata Peak. It was noted that the decision making lies on the future of the track with land owner, Craggy Range. When the track was developed it was legal as the landowner had lawful consent. Concerns regarding the resource consent have been acknowledged and the landowner, Craggy Range have undertaken publicly to take remediation action.
	Points highlighted at the meeting included: · Before the Resource Consent was granted the Committee had not been consulted for advice. · Became aware of issue when it was in the media. · Issues surrounding the proposed Hastings District Plan and whether it adequately protected the Outlanding Landscape qualities of Te Mata Peak to be discussed at a joint workshop with Council on 22 March 2018. · At that workshop discuss any changes or variations to the District Plan. · Also discuss the consultation process around any changes. · Clarification of wording on windfarm decision at Te Waka in paragraph 3.27 of the agenda report should read: “The Environment Court has acknowledged that providing due consideration is given to effects on the environment, a windfarm may not be an appropriate land use on the Mangaharuru Range in an area now recognised as ONFL6”. The Group Manager: Planning and Regulatory, Mr O’Shaughnessy confirmed that when an application from Craggy Range for a resource consent for remediation work was received it would be assessed and all affected parties would be involved.
	Mayor Hazlehurst/Councillor Travers A) That the report of the Environmental Policy Manager titled “Te Mata Track” dated 28/02/2018 be received. B) That the HDC: Māori Joint Committee are invited to a joint workshop with Council on 22 March 2018 to discuss all options prior to the drafting of changes to the Proposed District Plan provisions. CARRIED

Councillor O’Keefe left the meeting at 2.30pm.

MARAE DEVELOPMENT

Marae Fire and Safety Pilot Project: Support marae to protect their taonga through appropriate fire systems and gather information and financial support to be able to implement fire and safety recommendations.

Embarking on phase 2 – project arose from marae Whakaute project where major capital work was undertaken at some marae. Not all planning requirements were known and therefore were not included in the original estimates.

Entering post-settlement and some Marae may engage in capital works and the necessity to be mindful that there may be other implications that need to be factored in. Support marae to be mindful and work through. Fire Service, Te Puni Kokiri, Department of Internal Affairs and Council working on this.

Marae Whakaute Development Fund

Check with finance team some carried forward

Applications for the Marae Whakaute Development Fund close on 31 August each year.

9.	GROUP SERVICES ENGAGEMENT
	Library: Moana Munro has been the Kaitiaki pukapuka Māori for over a decade. This role has been a key contributor to the delivery of services to Māori by Providing research assistance; developing specialist programmes; engagement and outreach with local schools, childhood centres, kura kaupapa and kohanga reo; establishing networks within the local community and collection development in relation to Māori collections Comments highlighted included: · No collection of ethnicity data. · Strategic plan not specific - need data. · There are ways to collect data. · Basically the service is there for everyone but there should be specific data. · HR recruiting to replenish library staff in Flaxmere. · Computers creating other problems. · Collect and understand how going to move forward with libraries. · Havelock North bringing structure and open plan in to libraries. · Māori section – touch screen activities so can experience. · Keen on raising literacy levels and developing culture for Māori. · Have food available at the library to feed children when they come in after school. With the refurbishment of the Havelock North Library the community had submitted the following options as suggestions: · Hinerakau and Rongokako Te Mata and Kahurānaki Tuki Tuki and Karamu Tuki Tuki and Ngaruroro These options were presented to the Māori Joint Committee in December 2017, who were supportive of the meeting rooms being titled in Māori, however advised that the story was also important not just the name. Having the legend/story as well as the name on the meeting room was suggested with input from Kaumatua to ensure the correct legend was used.
10.	TE MATA TRACK
	Mr Wallis displayed powerpoint presentation (ENV-11-18-14) providing an overview of cultural issues that have arisen with the Te Mata Track. The resource consent that granted approval for the track on the east face of Te Mata Peak had raised questions as to whether the current Proposed District Plan framework adequately achieved the outcomes sought in respect of the Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes identified in the District, particularly in respect of ONFL 1 – Te Mata Peak. Looking at making amendments to the District Plan and assessment criteria proposals so it is very clear and will link through to outstanding landscapes. Bringing forward a strict regime of the plan would have implications for the landowners. In the process of organising a joint MJC/Council workshop to discuss District Plan amendments. Encourage wāhi taonga identification through wāhi taonga project. Update on track – Council have a commitment from Craggy Range to remediate the track and have commissioned a landscape architect to complete a remediation plan based on the advice they have received from mana whenua. A Resource Consent application would be applied for as earthworks would be involved. Ensure cultural considerations be taken into account and in the future all resource consents for Outstanding Natural Landscapes would go through the Group Manager: Planning and Regulatory.

11.	CULTURE AND HERITAGE
	Karl Wixon displayed a powerpoint presentation (CG-14-14-00045) providing an overview of what has been started with the wāhi tapu and taonga projects. Project background – Increase in applications for wāhi taonga. Need to review current policy and practices with view to improvement. Collation of all district plans around the country reference to heritage projection legislation. Last year started engagement with cross agency groups; Hastings District Council, Heritage New Zealand, Māori Land Court, Te Puni Kokiri and Ngāti Kahungunu Through conversations how do we future proof this – is it about protection or tourism? What might be possible in the future? Resource Management Act: Section 6(e) regarding the relationship of Māori and their culture and traditions with their ancestral lands, water, sites, wāhi tapu, and other tāonga. Heritage NZ Pouhere Taonga Act: Identifying & recording info & sites of historical and cultural heritage. Registering archaeological sites. Protection of sites. District Plan Policy: Gives effect to legislative obligations under the RMA and LGA. Includes specific provisions re: Wāhi Tapu/Wāhi Taonga as a District Wide Activity. Local Government Act: Section 4: Crown’s responsibility to take appropriate account of the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, and to maintain and improve opportunities for Māori to contribute to decision-making. Marine & Coastal Area /Takutai Moana Act: Provides recognition of customary rights or title over areas of the foreshore & seabed. Building Act: Council obliged to advise Heritage NZ of any application for a PIM where the application affects any registered historic place, historic area, waahi tapu or waahi tapu area. Treaty Settlement Bills (deeds of Settlement): Cultural redress including recognition of sites, names etc. Ture Whenua Māori Bill: To recognise and provide for the mana and tino rangatiratanga that since time immemorial Māori have exercised and continue to exercise over their lands, resources, and taonga. Mana whenua context – kaitiaki (inalienable duty of care), mana Duty to uphold, tikanga (uphold the past without thinking of the future), tuku iho intergenerational view of wāhi taonga; Organa (recognition of the central role cultural heritage plays in wellbeing) and Ōhanga - recognition of the enterprise and economic potential of wāhi taonga and associated pūrakau. Identified challenges; Mistrust, lack of empathy, conflicting values, needs and interests. Generally people don’t know who to connect with and who they need to consult and engage with. Future focus – Future possibilities - Connect using technology: Arataki, a smartphone application just launched in Tauranga this summer, takes visitors on cultural walking trails and immerses them in the rich culture as they stroll through beautiful scenery. Organisational models: Challenges not knowing about resource or Council trying to engage. Te Ao Marmara and Mahaanui Kurataiao Limited provides commercial planning and environmental services to private clients and the general public to assist and improve the recognition and protection of mana whenua.
Evelyn Ratima withdrew from meeting at 3.10pm
	· Does committee wish to state or declare a position in regard to wāhi taonga. · Committee have supported whole project so Te Mata track could be avoided. · Hastings should be celebrating culture and how have developed as community. · What should Council be involved in and how it supports. Defined roles to advance and support wider aspect. · Protection and making sure no mistakes. · Opportunities to make full use of taonga and relationship with people how they can be utilised for the environment and how knowledge can be used in architectural treasure and making place vibrant and interesting to visit. · Engagement with mana whenua/traditional knowledge.
	Charles Ropitini (Napier City Council Strategic Māori Advisor) said that for a project like this it was important for Council officers to work together. Boundary crosses hapu – shared hapu have to work twice as hard, not equipped to do it. Support the need of mana whenua in processes. Archaeological sites this district has densest number of sites. 7-8 hapu share boundaries. Wāhi tapu site largely within consents need to sit across multiple directories. No agency particularly guiding this. Best practice.
	Project going forward: · Define needs component · Waiting for approach to engage over development stuff and slip something into growth fund ministers where unlocking growth potential · Who will stimulate within mana whenua – desire to have conservation · Great if joint project with Napier · Including Hawke’s Bay Regional Council · Meeting statutory requirements will be great educational tool. Form basis of curriculum. · Gets clear pathway forward from Council, how to fund it, bringing tourism. · See step process · Not had engagement with landowners so do not have their views in the mix. · Project plan and package and report back. · Start with Māori names around the Council building · How Māoridom could feed and fit in with bureaucratic needs of Council.
Mayor Hazlehurst left the meeting at 3.50pm.

File Ref: 18/148

REPORT TO: HDC - Māori Joint Committee

MEETING DATE: Wednesday 23 May 2018

FROM: Manager, Emergency Readiness & Response and Libraries

Paula Murdoch

SUBJECT: Libraries update

1.0 SUMMARY

1.1 The purpose of this report is to update the Committee about the outcome of investigation into collection of ethnicity data for library users.

1.2 This issue arises from the Committee’s longstanding interest in understanding the use of library services by Māori.

1.3 The Council is required to give effect to the purpose of local government as prescribed by Section 10 of the Local Government Act 2002. That purpose is to meet the current and future needs of communities for good quality local infrastructure, local public services, and performance of regulatory functions in a way that is most cost–effective for households and businesses. Good quality means infrastructure, services and performance that are efficient and effective and appropriate to present and anticipated future circumstances.

1.4 The objective of this decision relevant to the purpose of Local Government is to deliver:

· community infrastructure for recreational, arts and cultural opportunity

· services to meet recreational, arts and cultural needs.

1.5 This report concludes by recommending that the report of the Manager, Emergency Readiness & Response and Libraries be received.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 The Committee was last updated on library services in December 2017 and requested information on library use by Māori.

2.2 The system used to register library users and manage their lending activity is a national system shared between 38 local authorities. As there is no statutory requirement for any council to collect ethnicity data about users of library services this is not collected by the system.

2.3 Further investigation has found that ethnicity data are not collected by other community facilities such as Pools, the Art Gallery or Community Centres, although Youth Development Programmes and Senior Housing do register this data.

2.4 The Manager was asked to investigate further on ways ethnicity data could be collected and was to report back to the Committee on the findings.

3.0 CURRENT SITUATION

3.1 Library services are able to quantify use across a range of indicators (visitors, membership, issues, etc.) but not about the ethnicity of those using them as the information is not captured within the nationally-shared system.

3.2 Library services are oriented towards community needs and interests. Understanding what these are involves working with specific communities of interest, groups or organisations. Groupings by age, gender or ethnicity (for example) may inform marketing of services, but they are not an accurate or complete way to measure the use of library services (by Māori or any other group) for the reasons listed below.

3.3 Registered borrowers

3.3.1 The point at which a person registers to borrow from the Libraries may appear on the surface to be a logical point at which to collect ethnicity data.

3.3.2 As part of a consortium, Hastings District Libraries shares its computer system and the associated processes with 38 other councils. This business model is an efficient and cost effective solution adopted five years ago.

3.3.3 Registration data provides only a snapshot of one type of use that people may make of library services. Many people use library services each year without ever registering for a card, as libraries may be used without a card, so this is an indicator of only one type of use.

3.3.4 The Consortium has been approached with a request to collect this information and depending on the outcome, this may be collected in time.

3.4 Loan figures

3.4.1 Borrowing books has been suggested as a way of measuring use of services. With the massive change that libraries continue to undergo, annual loan data are an out of date measure of library use. Many people regularly use library services without ever borrowing a book, so again, loan data would provide only a snapshot of a very specific type of use of library services.

3.4.2 Over time, in line with what is happening both nationally and internationally, loan figures are trending slowly downwards. At Hastings District Libraries, however, library visitation has increased substantially in recent years, so using loan figures (which are decreasing over time) as a measure of use of library services will provide a completely opposite picture of what is actually happening.

3.4.3 As an aside, ethnicity data would need to have been previously captured and stored in the person’s library registration record. Collecting this data for use of digital collections is not possible.

3.5 Programme attendance

3.5.1 In the last year Hastings District Libraries ran over a thousand programmes, activities and events, from regular storytimes, book clubs and holiday programmes to larger scale one-off events such as Harry Potter and Star Wars and an Easter Bunny event.

3.5.2 People interested in attending ticketed events are only rarely required to purchase a ticket, so there are very few opportunities to capture ethnicity data at point of ticketing.

3.5.3 Staff will begin to capture ethnicity data for selected programmes (Summer Sparks, Turn Up the Heat, etc) at point of registration from the start of the new financial year. This will provide some insight into participation in selected programmes that target different demographics (eg. Children, adults, etc).

3.6 Internet/computer use

3.6.1 Growth in use of internet and computer access has grown by almost 500% in the last eight years. In the last financial year, almost 90,000 hour-long internet and wifi sessions were provided to the community, making it a high volume service.

3.6.2 The service is available to everyone on a walk in basis and is anonymous insofar that users create a username and password. No identity data is required from customers using computers and so no ethnicity data is collected.

3.7 Visitor numbers

3.7.1 Visitor numbers increased by 14.3% overall in the last financial year to just under 600,000, chiefly due to Council making computer and wifi access completely free.

3.7.2 Visitors are counted automatically, but register only as a number. There is no way of identifying visits by age, gender, ethnicity or any other defining attribute.

3.8 A parallel can be drawn with the number of people who fly each year – a plane ticket can be bought without a passenger having to declare ethnicity. Air New Zealand knows how many passengers fly with the company each year, but it does not know the ethnicity of those passengers. Public reaction may be significant if the airline were to start asking for this information.

3.9 There is no efficient way of identifying the ethnicity of library users that does not require significant additional resourcing or which is not intrusive and/or potentially offensive, even assuming that Council required this information from its library facilities, aquatic facilities, community centres and galleries.

3.10 Any requirement for Council activities to collect ethnicity data about the people using those services would inevitably lead to questions about the purpose of collecting such information, particularly if it were not given a broader context.

3.11 The Committee’s interest in this matter relates to being able to provide robust evidence to counter perceptions relating to Māori by demonstrating use of library services and programmes.

3.12 Such information could also be requested of other Council activities to build a fuller picture of Māori participation in and use of Council facilities.

4.0 OPTIONS

4.1 A possible option suggested by officers is to include a question about ethnicity when the Libraries survey the community periodically as part of business as usual activity. Survey results would give an indication of use of library services across a range of variables, with results being a sample of the community at large, rather than a comprehensive assessment of all library users.

4.2 Within the next two years (and periodically thereafter) a community survey (of both library users and nonusers) will be conducted as part of the revision process for the Libraries’ Strategic Plan to inform future library development.

4.3 This approach has the advantage that the question forms part of a package of questions that relate to future service development without creating operational complexity to gather the information and without the request being the sole focus.

4.4 The disadvantage is that the information will be high level and extrapolated from sample data collected across both users and nonusers.

5.0 SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

5.1 There are no recommendations presented in the report that are significant in terms of Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy and consultation is not required at this stage.

6.0 ASSESSMENT OF OPTIONS (INCLUDING FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS)

6.1 This report identifies two options to collect ethnicity data:

· as part of a community survey prior to the Libraries’ Strategic Plan being revised; and

· as part of the registration process for selected programmes targeting a range of demographics.

6.2 Survey costs will be sought through the 19/20 Annual Plan process. A rough order estimate of this is $20,000 to ensure wide and representative coverage of the community.

6.3 There is no additional budget required to collect data as part of the registration process for programmes.

7.0 PREFERRED OPTION/S AND REASONS

7.1 The preferred options are to include a question relating to ethnicity as part of a broader survey of library users and nonusers that will be used to inform service development and also to include a question relating to ethnicity as part of the registration process for selected programmes.

7.2 A range of information can then be reported as needed.

7.3 Responses will not provide the Committee with precise figures about the use of library services by Māori (or any other ethnic group) but sample data can be used to indicate use or nonuse of library services, as well as informing development of future services.

8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND REASONS

A) That the report of the Manager, Emergency Readiness & Response and Libraries titled “Libraries update” dated 23/05/2018 be received.

B) That the Committee recommends to Council that funding for conducting a community survey on library service development is approved for the 2019/2020 financial year.

C) That the Manager, Emergency Readiness & Response and Libraries submit a request to the Consortium for ethnicity data to be recorded in patron records.

With the reasons for this decision being that the objective of the decision will contribute to meeting the current and future needs of communities for high quality local public services in a way that will ensure cost-effective and relevant library services for households and businesses by providing:

i) Community infrastructure for recreational, arts and cultural opportunity;

ii) Services to meet recreational, arts and cultural needs.

REPORT TO: HDC - Māori Joint Committee

MEETING DATE: Wednesday 23 May 2018

FROM: Democratic Support Manager

Jackie Evans

SUBJECT: Appointment of representative to the Hastings District Plan Review Committee and - Te Tira Toitū te Whenua - Hastings District Plan Outstanding Natural Landscapes Subcommittee

1.0 SUMMARY

1.1 The purpose of this report is to recommend the appointment of:-

· a member of the HDC: Māori Joint Committee to hear and consider the submissions to the reviewed District Plan,

· four members to a new subcommittee to consider how the cultural significance of Te Mata is to be integrated with the landscape provisions of the District Plan.

1.2 This issue arises from the provisions of the Council’s Schedule of appointments to Committees, Sub-committees, and other organisations.

1.4 The objective of this decision relevant to the purpose of Local Government is to enable the Council to meet its statutory obligations in relation to the review of its District Plan in a way which meets the purposes of the Local Government Act 2002.

1.5 This report concludes by recommending that the Committee recommend the appointment of one member to be a part of the District Plan Hearings Committee, and four members to the Te Tira Toitū te Whenua (Hastings District Plan Outstanding Natural Landscapes Subcommittee).

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 At its meeting on 22 March 2018, the Council agreed to the setting up of a District Plan Review Committee to identify issues, and guide the community consultation process as well as future progress of the District Plan review. This Committee is to comprise the Chair of the Hearings Committee, 5 elected members of the Council, a member of the Hastings District Rural Community Board and a member of the HDC/Māori Joint Committee.

2.2 The Council members have been appointed and it remains for this Committee to recommend the appointment of representatives from the Rural Community Board and HDC Māori Joint Committee.

2.3 At a recent Council/HDC Māori Joint Committee workshop it was suggested that a subcommittee be set up to consider how the cultural significance of Te Mata and other outstanding landscapes within the district can be integrated within the outstanding landscape natural features within the District Plan review.

3.0 CURRENT SITUATION

District Plan Review Committee

3.1 With the completion of the Variations and the resolution of the appeals on the Proposed District Plan close to being achieved the future workstream for the Environmental Policy Team has been considered by Council. This should be considered in the context of the intention to undertake a rolling review of the district plan, rather than complete it in ‘one hit’ within the ten year timeframe.

3.2 Projects being undertaken by other departments have identified some areas in the Proposed District Plan that require attention. An example is the work that is being done by the Economic Development Team to enliven the Central Commercial area of the City. One of the identified methods is to encourage people to live within the city centre. While the Proposed District Plan does provide for this as a permitted activity there are some standards that must be met that are currently seen as hindering such development. One of the obstacles is a rule that requires on-site carparking for each inner city dwelling unit and also provides for residential living in areas with designated retail frontage. There is a body of work required to look at how the plan might assist in incentivising inner city living and this could inform the CBD strategy which is being progressed.

3.3 Other departmental workstreams that will involve the Policy team are those around issues of providing for the accommodation needs of the growing RSE Workforce and assisting in developing a Council Policy on Affordable Housing.

3.4 In addition to the changes that are required as a result of project work other changes to the Proposed District Plan have been identified as being required as a result of appeals on the Proposed District Plan. These include the need to provide better differentiation between the Light industrial zone performance standards and those of the general industrial zones, and the need for a better process for identifying and protecting wāhi taonga.

3.5 All of these future workstreams would benefit from the input of Councillors through a Committee. The Committee’s role will be to assist staff, particularly with identifying issues, and guide the community consultation process as well as future progress of the District Plan review. Councillors are familiar with land use matters affecting the wider community of Hastings and their input including political steer, will assist in identifying any areas of concern as well as opportunities for the review.

3.6 The establishment of a Committee for the District Plan Rolling Review is required to ensure political input and direction into the informal consultation and plan preparation process prior to the statutory process. It should be noted however that any decisions on the final content of the Plan or variations, will be made by Council, either in the form of the Hearings Committee or full Council. The Committee’s is therefore one of guidance and direction and it will not have delegation to make decisions on final content.

3.7 The amount of time on the District Plan Review is difficult to gauge as it will depend on the complexity of the issues that are to be considered. In the preparation for reviewing the plan the number of hours should not be excessive at any one time. It may involve a period over one to two months where the Committee may need to spend a couple of hours every two weeks or so. The hearing of submissions on the changes to the plan will be dependent on the number of submissions received. Officers would expect that it would be for a maximum of a couple of days at a time for each of the plan changes put forward

Te Tira Toitū te Whenua (Hastings District Plan Outstanding Natural Landscapes Subcommittee)

The Terms of Reference for Te Tira Toitū te Whenua is attached (Attachment 1). It is proposed that the Subcommittee comprises 4 Councillors (Barber, Heaps, Redstone and Schollum) and four HDC- Māori Joint Committee representatives. The focus of this subcommittee will be to oversee the formation of a project plan and timeframe to consider options for any changes to the Proposed District Plan to reflect the cultural significance of Te Mata and other outstanding natural landscapes.

3.7 The time involvement would involve around 15 -20 hours spread over three to four weeks.

4.0 OPTIONS

4.1 The Council has decided that the establishment of the Joint Committee is one way to provide an opportunity for Māori to have involvement in the Council’s decision making processes. The District Plan is a document which has significance for the future shape of the District and it is proper that Māori have an opportunity to be closely involved in the development of that document. Thus it is appropriate that this Committee be given the opportunity of providing a representative to be part of that process.

4.0 RECOMMENDATION

A) That the report of the Democratic Support Manager titled “Appointment of Representatives to the Hastings District Plan Review Committee and Te Tira Toitū te Whenua - Hastings District Plan Outstanding Natural Landscapes Subcommittee” dated 23/05/2018 be received.

B) That Council be recommended to appoint …………….to the District Plan Review Committee.

C) That Council be recommended to appoint ………………., …………. ………………and ……………. to Te Tira Toitū te Whenua - Hastings District Plan Outstanding Natural Landscapes Subcommittee.

REPORT TO: HDC - Māori Joint Committee

MEETING DATE: Wednesday 23 May 2018

FROM: Pou Ahurea Advisor: Responsiveness, Relationships & Heritage

Rosemary Smith

SUBJECT: Te Awa o Te Atua Reserve

1.0 SUMMARY

1.1 The purpose of this report is to update/inform the Committee about the Te Awa o Te Atua Reserve harakeke collection project that was placed at the Longlands roundabout.

1.2 The project temporarily stopped with the departure of the Strategic Advisor Culture and Heritage and is to resume.

1.3 The project has now resumed under the guidance of Bronwyn Te Muri (Muri) Whaanga, and Council Parks and Reserves’ officers. .

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 On 25 June 2014, the Māori Joint Committee supported participation with the tangata whenua collective of weavers responsible for the kaitiakitanga of harakeke at the Longlands roundabout.

2.2 The large plantings presented an issue for maintenance and harvesting according to tikanga Māori. The objectives align with sustainable management of the resource as fibre for weavers and pharmacology for rongoa Māori.

3.0 CURRENT SITUATION

3.1 Picking up on the original intention to maintain, develop and care for the collection has resumed. Muri has been involved since its re-plant and dedication at Longlands and is the key person and it will be her role to engage with Heretaunga weavers to continue with the earlier proposed work plan.

3.2 Rob McGowan, Ngā Whenua Rahui, has also resumed his support and assistance in ensuring the development progresses to the best outcome as documented.

3.3 The proposal is to engage Muri to complete a number of phased projects; initially to assist and support Council in the thinning out and cleaning process. And then the work will also involve the following:

· Creation of a Ngāti Kahungunu weavers ‘database

· Establish hapu guidelines for management of resources in conjunction with Rob McGowan, Amo Aratu, of Ngā Whenua Rahui, and Council officers

· Assist marae and hapu in developing Kaitiakitanga capability

· Produce a Kaitiakitanga booklet – who to contact, tikanga protocols etc

· Provide and advocate policies based on mana whenua and mātauranga indigenous knowledge

· Provide policy advice for the Kaitiaki regime at Council

· Provide an ongoing monitoring relationship approach for future protection and sustainability

3.4 Eventually, coordination of information, requests for harvest, training, teaching and future development will be the responsibility of the weavers’ collective (Yet to be named).

3.5 Parks and Reserves’ staff will continue to support the Te Awa o Te Atua Reserve through supply of heavy machinery maintenance, erecting barriers, and the like as planned and as is necessary. Communication with staff is ongoing.

4.0 SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

4.1 This report does not trigger the Council’s Significance and Engagement policy.

5.0 ASSESSMENT OF OPTIONS (INCLUDING FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS)

5.1 This report identifies two options:

· To continue to support this project; OR

· To withdraw support for the project

5.2 If the Committee continues to support this project the implications will be to engage Muri in a Contract for Services (outlined above). There is funding available within the Hapū Māori Engagement budget.

6.0 PREFERRED OPTIONS AND REASONS

6.1 It is recommended that this project be supported because the Collection is a taonga of great value. When the taonga is properly cared for and treasured it bestows mana to those who care for it. By planting the Collection, Council accepted the responsibility for caring for it in consultation with mana whenua hapū of Heretaunga.

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND REASONS

A) That the report of the Pou Ahurea Advisor: Responsiveness, Relationships & Heritage titled “Te Awa o Te Atua Reserve” dated 23/05/2018 be received.

B) That the Committee continues to support the development of the Te Awa o Te Atua Reserve project.

C) That the Committee supports the mana whenua kaitiakitanga of Ms Bronwyn Te Muri Whaanga to further develop and coordinate the work project.

With the reasons for this decision being that the objective of the decision will contribute to meeting the current and future needs of communities in a way to ensure that the collection is preserved as a taonga of great value to the community.

Report to Māori Caucus Group 25 June 2014

14/599

File Ref: 18/419

REPORT TO: HDC - Māori Joint Committee

MEETING DATE: Wednesday 23 May 2018

FROM: Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage

James Graham

SUBJECT: Māori Joint Committee Participation at Council

1.0 SUMMARY

1.1 The purpose of this report is to update the Committee about Māori Joint Committee participation and representation across decision-making at the Council and in particular on other committees of Council.

1.2 This issue arises from the recent Māori Joint Committee Retreat where the Terms of Reference (Attachment 1) for the Committee were raised and discussed.

1.4 This is an update report on the matter, which will lead to further consideration of the issues. This report concludes by recommending that the report be received.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 In 2005 the Māori Joint Committee was established with the status as a standing committee of Council. The terms of reference provided for six elected Councillors, and six Māori appointments made by Council.

2.2 Although the Committee was formed to speak for mana whenua and tangata whenua, the current appointments to the Committee reflect the context of the six claims’ settlement entities in the district, without in anyway purporting to be representative of them.

2.3 The six Post Settlement Governance Entities (PSGEs) are: - Ngāti Pāhauwera, Development Trust, Maungaharuru Tangitū Trust, Te Kōpere o te iwi o Hineuru Trust, Mana Ahuriri Trust and Heretaunga Tamatea Development Trust; Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated.

2.4 In regards to Māori participation and representation, officers of Council have previously undertaken site visits to other councils, and researched other models to gain an understanding of how Māori participation is taken into account in other contexts (Attachment 2).

2.5 Officers appreciate that the construction and inclusion of Māori participation in the decision making processes at Council is a significant issue that needs to be taken into account, for example, unique local political conditions, resource allocation, mutually appropriate processes for appointment, and alignment of values and aspirations between Council and mana whenua in a way that is mutually appropriate and mana enhancing.

3.0 CURRENT SITUATION

3.1 Committee members have expressed that the Māori Joint Committee model is an appropriate method of Māori participation and representation at the current time but in terms of this model realising its full potential, a number of significant issues were tabled at the recent Committee retreat that centred on the Terms of Reference of the Committee and in particular, across two contexts with regard to its role and function.

3.2 The first, is / was in relation to the Committee’s role and function, where the following contexts were discussed at the Committee retreat: advisory only role, lack of mana, place of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, advice versus strategic direction, representation across committees (or not), status of the Committee and the Committee’s role and function.

3.3 The second, is / was in regard to the notion of non-Councillor Māori Joint Committee members’ participation and representation on other committees of Council; a topical and what has been described to some degree as a problematic dilemma. For instance, given the professional roles of current non-Council members outside of the Māori Joint Committee, capacity (time) is very limited and the nomination and or placement of these members onto other committees can potentially be counter-productive and burdensome.

3.4 Given the Te Matā track situation that confronts Council, iwi and the wider community at present, a new subcommittee of Council has been brought together following the recent Council and Māori Joint Committee joint hui, consisting of four Councillors and four Māori Joint Committee (non-Councillor) members.

3.5 The urgency of this significant issue gave rise to the formation of this subcommittee that while important, will see time and capacity stretched beyond what are already busy workloads for Committee members.

4.0 IMPLICATIONS FOR COUNCIL

4.1 Many Councils have standing committees with Māori appointments. Māori members can be full members with voting rights, or be observers, who generally have the right to speak but not vote.

4.2 A critical point to be considered is the matter of accountability: to whom are appointed members accountable? If appointments are made to reflect sectors of the community, it is notable that once selected for appointment the focus of participation is to benefit the whole community, not just their interest group or be at risk of conflict of interest. So it is with elected members, once they are elected to Council they are there to benefit the community as a whole.

4.3 This does not detract or impede the purpose for the appointments, which is to provide for a Māori perspective into Council decision-making. It is this perspective, if not otherwise reliably present, which strengthens the make-up of the decision-making processes of the Council, and broadens the range of perspectives being considered.

4.4 A further consideration, moving forward into an era when in the not too distant future, all six PSGEs will be fully settled with the Crown, is the notion of bilateral relationships with entities with regards to mana whenua and Council issues and or business.

4.5 Such a consideration would potentially see mana whenua and Council engagement manifesting as direct engagement between parties.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Officers are still developing options for consideration. These will be refined as an outcome of the Committee meeting to be held on 23 May 2018.

6.0 SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

6.1 This report is for information purposes only and does not trigger any threshold in the Policy on Significance and Engagement policy.

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND REASONS

A) That the report of the Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage titled “Māori Joint Committee Participation at Council” dated 23/05/2018 be received.
