Forum Item - 3Waters Review Update

(Document 19/482)

Ms Goodlass, Hawke’s Bay LASS displayed a powerpoint presentation (CG-14-14-00094) providing an overview of the summary of the discussion and themes from the workshops held with Māori Committees that would be incorporated into any new model recommended.

A collaborative approach had been sought and worked together with key stakeholders to determine and agree the key principles to ensure collective outcomes for this review. The aim of working together in this way was to bring convergence, coherence and cohesion to the project.

Ms Goodlass noted that they had not consulted with iwi and Māori engagement had been through a series of meetings with Council Māori Advisors, Māori Standing Committees, Regional Planning Committees and key local Māori influencers.

Five meetings had been held with the Wairoa Māori Standing Committee, HDC Māori Joint Committee, Napier Māori Consultative Committee and the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council Regional Planning Committee and Māori Advisory Committee and had emphasised the following:

· Water and the environment are interconnected, what we do in one area will have consequences for another – One Water.

· The cultural significance of water and the impact of storm water and waste water on taonga waterways.

· We must understand the reality for Māori facing three waters issues and incorporate Te Ao Māori in any new model.

· A new model should incorporate partnership in terms of governance and provide for Tikanga practices as part of its core principles in infrastructure design approach.

Key Principles were:

· To provide three water services in a way that is affordable and effective

· Important that this considers now and into the future

· To provide services that are safe, reliable and resilient

· To provide services through a model that enables a meaningful role for Māori

· To provide services through a model that has the value of water at the centre

· Encompasses broad cultural, community and environmental

· To provide three waters services in a way that supports our urban and rural communities

· Recognises the importance of local employment, economies

· To provide three waters services that builds enduring capability and capacity

Ms Goodlass advised that the final report would be communicated to the Chief Executive and leadership teams by the end of May. During June and July it was expected that they would be communicating the recommendation to Council and staff, with a copy of the recommendation being provided to the Minister.

The Council Leadership teams would then determine what further information/steps were required taking into account that this was the first phase and an independent review. The real debate was still to be had and would be when the Government released the regulator report.

Councillor Poulain/Mr Tiuka

A) That the report of the Pou Ahurea Matua - Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage titled “Forum Item - 3Waters Review Update” dated 22/05/2019 be received.

5.	Te Kura Nui - The Māori Cultural Responsiveness Framework (Document 19/508)
	The Pou Ahurea Matua Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage, Dr James Graham advised that the redrafting of Te Kura Nui was in progress. The Information and Technology Services, media/communications, customer services and the Pou Ahurea were currently working with Information Leadership Group (a Christchurch-based Gold Microsoft Partner) to re-design Sharepoint Infokete the internal staff noticeboard. Te Kura Nui, the cultural framework would be positioned on the front page where the assessment framework could be easily accessed and reported against. This would make the framework more visible, meaningful and a tool that was a compulsory check point for officers to check if they were being responsive to Māori. It was noted that the use of ancient terminology may not be understood, however provided a great overview of the history. The Te Kura Nui would provide a tool that would provide a lens over the whole organisation and keep the Committee fully informed. During discussions it was suggested that when the Council tapestry is to be updated it include the history of the Pou.
Ngaio Tiuka withdrew from the meeting at 2.45pm.

REPORT TO: HDC - Māori Joint Committee

MEETING DATE: Wednesday 14 August 2019

FROM: Pou Ahurea Matua - Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage

Dr James Graham

SUBJECT: Te Mata, Te Matā, Te Mata o Rongokako, Te Karanemanema o Te Mata o Rongokako Track remediation Update

1.0 SUMMARY

1.1 The purpose of this report is to update the Committee about the progress on the Craggy track remediation on Te Matā o Rongokako.

1.2 This issue arises from the construction of the Craggy track on the eastern escarpment of Te Matā o Rongokako, and the need to consider the future management of this important cultural landscape.

1.3 The Council is required to give effect to the purpose of local government as set out in section 10 of the Local Government Act 2002. That purpose is to enable democratic local decision-making and action by (and on behalf of) communities, and to promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being of communities in the present and for the future.

1.4 This report concludes by recommending that the information be received.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 The background to the report arises from the construction of a walking track by Craggy Range Winery on the eastern escarpment of Te Matā o Rongokako in November 2017. Iwi and hapū signalled that the track had a significant adverse effect on Te Matā as a taonga of mana whenua. Committee members will be familiar with the detail and history up to May 2019.

2.2 The Craggy Track Hearing was held on 11 and 12 June 2019 and the outcome of that hearing was released earlier in July with the Council being granted permission to remediate the rest of the Craggy track pending certain conditions including an archaeological authority application to Heritage New Zealand (Attachment 1).

3.0 CURRENT SITUATION

3.1 A timeline of the continued remediation of the Craggy track has been developed and pending certain variables as referred to in the Commissioners’ report and the Archaeological Authority, details the process moving forward (Attachment 2).

3.2 Key to the broader scope moving forward will be the cultural assessment report titled - Towards an understanding of the Māori (cultural) wellbeing and survival aspirations that Ngā Hapū o Heretaunga have for Te Mata, Te Matā, Te Mata o Rongokako, Te Karanemanema Te Mata o Rongokako (Herein referred to as Te Matā … Te Mata te Tipuna), which will be vital in terms of one) the Te Tira Toitū te Whenua - Hastings District Plan Cultural Values Sub-committee and two) changes to and revisions of the Hastings District Plan in order to recognise and acknowledge the essence of this report and its significance for mana whenua, tangata whenua and Hastings District Council.

3.3 The purpose of the Subcommittee includes overseeing the formation of a project plan including resources and timeframe to consider the options for any changes proposed to the proposed District Plan including but not limited to outcomes from:

i. Te Mata Project Team 3 Phase Process

ii. The High Court Appeal between Maungaharuru Tangitū Trust and Hastings District Council CIV-2018-441-57

iii. The Waahi Taonga review being undertaken by the Hastings District Council Policy Section together with Council’s Pou Ahurea Matua Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage.

3.4 On Friday, 26 July 2019, a hui-ā-iwi was held at Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga and facilitated by the Kaihautū, Manaaki Taiao, Marei Apatu. The hui-ā-iwi was to update mana whenua on the Craggy track remediation process thus far, and following the commissioners’ ruling after the hearing.

3.5 The hui unanimously supported the following resolution, "that the Hui-ā-iwi support the Hastings District Council application for an Archaeological Authority (to Heritage NZ) for the remediation of the Te Mata Craggy track".

3.6 Manaaki Taiao of Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga have developed a Kaupapa Tūtohu: Short form Cultural safety Agreement, which will be used to outline the expectations and agreement of whānau, marae, hapū and mana whenua for the track remediation process.

3.7 In in order to incorporate cultural best practice and to promote cultural safety for all parties, this Kaupapa Tūtohu will oversee all mana whenua cultural tikanga and kawa are upheld and followed once the remediation process gets underway.

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND REASONS

A) That the report of the Pou Ahurea Matua - Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage titled “Te Mata, Te Matā, Te Mata o Rongokako, Te Karanemanema o Te Mata o Rongokako Track remediation Update” dated 14/08/2019 be received.

REPORT TO: HDC - Māori Joint Committee

MEETING DATE: Wednesday 14 August 2019

FROM: Pou Ahurea Matua - Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage

Dr James Graham

SUBJECT: Appropriate Appointment Process of Tangata Whenua Members to the HDC : Maori Joint Committee

1.0 SUMMARY

1.1 The purpose of this report is to obtain a decision from the Committee on the appropriate appointment process of tangata whenua members to the Committee so that moving forward as the new triennium approaches, the Committee can make a recommendation to Council on the appropriate appointment process.

1.2 This report arises from three contexts:

A. One of the tangata whenua seats on the Committee being vacated by Shayne Walker at the start of 2019;

B. The need to review the current Terms of Reference; and,

C. Confirmation of the Tangata Whenua appointment process in time for the new triennium.

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 enable democratic local decision-making and action by, and on behalf of, communities.

1.4 This decision is principally administrative and relates to Council’s governance and decision-making arrangements in carrying out the purpose of local government. In particular this decision addresses the intent to maintain and improve opportunities for Māori to contribute to local government decision-making processes, and to facilitate participation by Māori in local government decision-making processes.

1.5 This report concludes by recommending that the Committee receive the report and that the ensuing recommendations are upheld and go to Council for consideration and ratification so that in the Committee’s view, Māori will be strongly positioned to engage and contribute effectively to Council decision-making in 2019 -2022.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 The current Terms of Reference for the HDC: Māori Joint Committee were adopted by the Council on 8 November 2016. They reflect the provisions that were in place for the previous triennium.

2.2 Essentially the reason for the use of a committee structure is to enable governance decision-making to occur in a timely and responsive manner so as to allow the business of the Council to operate efficiently and effectively while ensuring democracy principles are given appropriate cognisance.

2.3 In the case of the HDC: Māori Joint Committee, the structure provides one avenue to enable Māori input into Council’s decision-making processes.

2.4 The committee and governance structures used by councils throughout New Zealand have many variations reflecting the ‘local’ flavour and preferences of the communities the particular councils serve.

3.0 CURRENT SITUATION

3.1 At the 6 March 2019 meeting, the resignation of Shayne Walker was accepted meaning that a vacancy needed to be filled at some point; either at that time or later post the triennial elections.

3.2 At the HDC: Māori Joint Committee meeting and the subsequent Council meeting that followed a couple of weeks later, the Council resolved to ratify the HDC: Māori Joint Committee recommendation and agreed to the appointment of tangata whenua members, with voting rights to the Hastings District Council Standing Committees. The following tangata whenua members were appointed as full voting members to the four Council Standing Committees from 28 March 2019:

Community Development	Evelyn Ratima
Finance and Risk	Ngaio Tiuka
Strategy, Planning and Partnerships	Tracee Te Huia
Works and Services	Te Rangihau Gilbert

3.3 Council also recommended that the HDC: Māori Joint Committee review the current Terms of Reference and Membership for the upcoming 2019-2022 triennium.

3.4 At the 22 May 2019 Committee meeting, the Committee recommended that a workshop be held on 17 July 2019 to discuss the appropriate appointment process of tangata whenua members moving forward, including a review of the Committee’s current Terms of Reference.

3.5 Terms of Reference

3.6 Regarding the Committee Terms of Reference, the Committee Context, Fields of Activity and Membership / Delegated Powers were discussed at the 17 July workshop. The Committee felt that the Terms of Reference were still relevant subject to a few minor amendments with respect to the development and implementation of Te Kura Nui - The Māori Responsiveness Framework, former initiatives that are no longer current, and Membership arrangements moving forward into the new triennium (see Attachment 1)

3.7 Whole Membership of the Committee

3.8 The principle of overall membership of the Committee is currently set at an equal number of mana whenua and elected members – a mana whenua chair with no casting vote.

3.9 Tangata Whenua Appointments

3.10 The Committee workshop highlighted the diversity that exists within the district amongst the marae, hapū and mātaawaka, and that it is important to represent this diversity here on this Committee where the provision of service to the Māori community and advice to Council is key in providing a better future for Māori; for all.

3.11 The specific issue of tangata whenua representation engendered wide-ranging discussion all of which was important and integral to carving a pathway forward. The following bullet points summarise the discussions that centred on two models of representation:

i) Eight (8) tangata whenua appointments based on six (6) Post Settlement Governance Entities + two (2) Taiwhenua appointments and eight (8) Councillors where the PSGEs include Heretaunga-Tamatea, Mana Ahuriri, Maungaharuru Tangitū, Hineuru, Ngāti Pāhauwera, Ngāti Kahungunu, and the Taiwhenua include Heretaunga and Te Whanganui-a-Orotū.

ii) The status quo prevail i.e. six (6) tangata whenua appointments where there is no specific requirement to directly link each appointment to each of the six PSGEs, and six (6) Councillors.

3.12 The discussion and debate on the appointment of tangata whenua members also raised a number of options for consideration including:

i) PSGE representation of the aforementioned post-settlement entities where each of the PSGEs puts up their respective representatives i.e. allowing the PSGEs to select and put forward recommendations for Council to consider and approve.

ii) Consideration of mātaawaka in the appointment process i.e. do we have a specific place for mātaawaka or are mātaawaka interests indirectly included and protected by our tangata whenua members’ expression of tikanga-ā-iwi? That is, tangata whenua members represent all Māori; mana whenua and tangata whenua (local hapū and mātaawaka) and so by default, mātaawaka interests are served.

3.13 An analysis of the above workshop discussion and debates reveals that the status quo in terms of tangata whenua member numbers remains strong, as does the aspiration of the majority of the current Committee see that there’s a strong appetite for PSGE representation across the six tangata whenua members moving forward into the new triennium.

3.14 Process for Tangata Whenua appointments

3.15 Council on 28 March 2019 also asked that the HDC: Māori Joint Committee review the appointment process for Tangata Whenua members to ensure that there was transparency around the way that the external appointments are made. This is the standard practice for all external appointments to the Council committees and Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs). A documented process enables the Council to be in a position to make informed decisions on the skills, knowledge and attributes of potential non-elected appointments to advisory and decision making committees.

3.16 It is therefore proposed to set up an appointments panel comprising the incoming Mayor, the current chair of the HDC: Māori Joint Committee, Council kaumātua and Chief Executive to consider applications or recommendations for tangata whenua members who have the relevant knowledge, connections, skills, capacity and time commitment to be a fully effective member of the HDC: Māori Joint Committee. Recommendations for appointments from this panel would be put before the Council for approval at the inaugural meeting of the new Council in November 2019.

3.17 Appointments to Standing Committees

3.18 The workshop expressed a clear desire to continue with the current arrangement of the appointment of tangata whenua members of the HDC: Māori Joint Committee to the main committees of the Council, under any new governance structure.

4.0 PREFERRED OPTION

After careful consideration and a thorough scoping exercise of the 17 July workshop notes and discussions, the preferred option moving into the new triennium is:

i) That tangata whenua appointees who represent each of the six PSGEs (Heretaunga-Tamatea Settlement Trust, Mana Ahuriri Trust, Maungaharuru Tangitū Trust, Hineuru Iwi Trust, Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust, and Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated) from within the Hastings district are to be nominated by the respective entities.

ii) The nominations will then be examined by the appointments panel as per the updated Terms of Reference by the Mayor, the Chief Executive, the outgoing Chair of the HDC: Māori Joint Committee and the Council kaumātua, taking into account the post-settlement environment and mātaawaka, as well as the necessity for appointees to have the appropriate skills, attributes, experiences and time.

iii) On the basis that the nominations fulfil the HDC: Māori Joint Committee criteria for tangata whenua membership / appointees, six tangata whenua nominations will be formally recommended to the new Council at its first triennial meeting in November 2019.

5.0 OPTION ANALYSIS

5.1 This option is a representation-based model that has the advantage of building on the current model of six tangata whenua members and what it offers the Committee with regard to adequate and appropriate representation of mana whenua and mātaawaka, the latter indirectly through tikanga and kawa. Having six tangata whenua members and six Councillors (12) will eliminate the inefficiency and at times, ineffectiveness of larger committee numbers due to the strain on time, commitment and resource associated with larger committees.

5.2 There is also the added cost of time and commitment of having more members on multiple committees and or with more commitments, which at times has shown to compromise attendance and consistent participation.

5.3 This option also eliminates a lack of transparency in the appointment process to the Committee in that:

A. The committee is clear and focussed about its processes and what it wants;

B. The Pou Ahurea Matua is clear on what they want to work with moving forward as we traverse the post-settlement context even further than we did three years ago; and,

C. Council has the final say on the Committee make-up.

6.0 SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

6.1 This is essentially a matter for the Committee to consider within its understanding of the role that it plays in the Council’s decision-making framework.

6.2 This matter is likely to be of some public interest, however seeking any further community views is not considered necessary at this point following three HDC: Māori Joint Committee meetings and a workshop, and this matter can now be progressed by the Committee and the Council kaumātua for Council to endorse and approve.

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND REASONS

A) That the report of the Pou Ahurea Matua - Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage titled “Māori Joint Committee Tangata Whenua [Replacement] Membership” dated 22/05/2019 be received.

B) That the HDC: Māori Joint Committee recommends that the incoming Council adopt either Option A or Option B as the structure for the HDC: Māori Joint Committee or its successor in the 2019 - 2022 triennium.

C) That Council notes and records that the appended Terms of reference and delegations recommended by the Committee are adopted by the HDC: Māori Joint Committee or its successor in the 2019 - 2022 triennium.

D) That the HDC: Māori Joint Committee recommend to Council that the Chief Executive be delegated authority and given responsibility to set up and administer an appointments panel comprising the incoming Mayor, the current chairman of the HDC: Māori Joint Committee (Robin Hape), Council kaumātua, and Chief Executive to recommend to Council suitable Tangata Whenua candidates for appointment to the HDC: Māori Joint Committee or its successor for the 2019 - 2022 triennium.

E) The Committee recommends that the HDC: Māori Joint Committee or its successor in the 2019 - 2022 triennium continues to make recommendations to Council for appointments with full voting rights to Council Standing Committees or their equivalents in the 2019 - 2022 triennium.

With the reason for these decisions being that the objectives of the decisions will contribute to meeting the current and future needs of communities for local public services in ways that are most cost-effective for households and business by improving Māori engagement in the Council’s governance and decision-making processes.That the Council/Committee receives the report titled Appropriate Appointment Process of Tangata Whenua Members to the HDC : Maori Joint Committee

REPORT TO: HDC - Māori Joint Committee

MEETING DATE: Wednesday 14 August 2019

FROM: Pou Ahurea Matua - Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage

Dr James Graham

SUBJECT: Pou Ahurea Matua / Pou Ahurea Update

1.0 SUMMARY

1.1 The purpose of this report is to update the Committee about continuing project work that both the Pou Ahurea and Pou Ahurea Matua are leading and/or participating in.

1.2 This report concludes by recommending that the Committee receives this report.

2.0 BACKGROUND

Heretaunga Ararau - Te Reo Māori Policy:

2.1 The development of the draft Māori Language Policy continues and the working title is: Heretaunga Ararau - Te Reo Māori Policy (see Attachment 1). The Pou Ahurea has consulted with Te Taura Whiri i Te Reo Māori, Wellington City Council, Wairoa District Council, Te Kura Whakarauora and Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated on its content, design, reo accuracy and format. The policy along with the Heretaunga Ararau Action Plan, is on track to be completed and coincide with Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori 2019 celebrations from 9 to 15 September 2019.

2.2 Ararau is a metaphorical representation of the district’s diversity, identity, innovation, and is an acknowledgement of place. Ararau is also symbolic in that it forms one part of the iconic whakataukī (proverb) that identifies and represents Heretaunga - Heretaunga haukūnui, Heretaunga ararau, Heretaunga haaro te kaahu, Heretaunga takoto noa.

2.3 Consequently, Heretaunga Ararau brings together all of the different paths of local government here in the Hastings District including Finance, Planning and Regulatory, Human Resources, Community Facilities and Programmes, Asset Management, Economic Growth and Organisational Improvement, and the Office of the Chief Executive to celebrate, elevate and champion te reo Māori.

Te Reo Māori @ HDC:

2.4 Semester One Te Reo Māori classes across levels one and two have been completed with Semester Two classes having commenced the week beginning 22 July 2019. This Semester will see at least 30 Council staff engaging at level one here at Council on a weekly basis through to the end of November 2019.

2.5 There are some staff who will pursue level two and now level three outside of Council at either EIT’s Taradale Campus or their Hastings’ site on Heretaunga St West, which is fantastic … ka mau te wehi! Also, One of our staff here at Council, Tania Sansom-Anderson was the top level two student across the whole level two cohort at EIT that was announced at the mid-year graduation on Friday, 26 July 2019^.Tania won the Te Tira Matairangi Memorial Award … mīharo kē Tania!

Waiata @ HDC:

2.6 Initially fortnightly and now weekly, 30 minute waiata sessions have been a feature of the last three months here at Council where the objectives have been one) to have a repertoire of waiata so that staff are able to sing an appropriate waiata whenever and wherever without having to ‘duck and dive’, two) to develop our organisational responsiveness to kaupapa Māori where the performing and or singing of waiata is culturally appropriate, and three) to build and nurture a sense of connection to ‘place’ that also engenders pride, respect, commitment and integrity in ‘self’ and in Te Reo Māori.

Waipatu Community Plan and HDC Marae Engagement:

2.7 The Waipatu Community Plan was recently launched at Waipatu Marae where Council were welcomed by Ngāti Hāwea, Ngāti Hinemoa and Ngāti Hori and Council formally met to present the community plan. It is an aspiration and aim of council, and management/leadership in particular, to be able to go to and meet at our local marae to hold Council hui including community meetings, Council meetings, Council retreats, Leadership Team retreats. Regarding the Leadership Team, a retreat was also held at Waipatu Marae on the first Friday in August.

2.8 Having met at Waimārama (Craggy Track Hearing), Mangaroa and Waipatu, it will be a challenge but exciting to be able to start ‘ticking’ marae off the Council list in terms of having officially visited as a Council.

Bridge Pā Long Term Community Plan:

2.9 The Bridge Pā Long Term Community Plan is continuing in its development and as this report is presented, you will have had the opportunity to listen to and discuss the presentation of Wi Huata earlier in this Committee’s agenda today.

Ironmāori:

2.10 Recruitment for staff IronMāori 2019 participants is underway as we look for entrants to the Kaumāua 3km walk and Quarter IronMāori team events. In 2018, HDC entered 10 Kaumātua and three teams however, with this early start we are wanting to improve these numbers.

2.11 This year and so far, our participants include Kaikaunihera/Councillors, Lead Team members and a range of staff from across all services. Information for those interested has been posted on InfoKete and will continue to be. The event is held in November so there is plenty of time to register and support this event with HDC.

Te Kura Nui - Māori Responsiveness Framework:

2.12 Te Kura Nui is the Māori cultural responsiveness framework for HDC. The original process for measuring improvement included a self-assessment procedure, followed by an agreed action plan for implementation and then monitoring and reporting progress.

2.13 With Te Kura Nui being the backdrop for the organisation’s cultural competency improvement an action plan is being designed by the Pou Ahurea team to sit across all group services. We’ve aptly named the action plan Heretaunga Ararau highlighting the riches of the district.

2.14 The name and action plan also serves as the action plan to implement Heretaunga Ararau - Te Reo Māori Policy. We have listed opportunities for success in accomplishing goals and objectives to build momentum, confidence, hope and commitment.

2.15 When te reo Māori outcomes are implemented and improved across an organisation the intrinsic values of a culture are achieved. Underlying this action plan is a level of consistency with other major cities, and that is the goal to be a te reo city by 2040.

2.16 Aligned with this work is the direction from Council’s Lead Team for each staff member to have cultural indicators included in performance objectives. Māori Language Planning elements are included in Heretaunga Ararau and are:

· Te Mārama Pū/Critical Awareness. When people accept the need for language revitalisation and understand the ambitious role that Council has in achieving the goal to be a te reo city by 2040.

· Mana/Status. When people understand the value of te reo Māori and accept it as an integral part of our city and national identity.

· Te Whakamahi/Use. People can speak, listen to, read, write and comprehend te reo Māori at a level that supports their use and have access to reo-rich environments and domains.

· Ako/Acquisition. Council supports people to have increased opportunities to acquire te reo Māori at a level that supports their use.

· Te Puna/Corpus. Quality new words, terms and standards are developed and available to support the use of te reo Māori.

The approach for delivering the Te Kura Nui portal via SharePoint Online was agreed to after Information Leadership Design Services Ltd (ILDSL) provided a demonstration of the proposed functionality. The work includes:

· Confirm the core data needed to be collected for filtering and grouping (action or outcome, phases) including the relationships between the data.

· Set up the core SharePoint site collection, search configuration, content types, navigation, branding and security

· Build the supporting lists and libraries in SharePoint.

· Build display templates for reporting with style indicators for status or progress bars for each action

· Configure dashboard pages as required and set up management of views.

2.17 Te Kura Nui will be launched with Heretaunga Ararau in September during te wiki o Te Reo Māori.

EMO Building Whakairo:

2.18 The new EMO building given its significance and the role that it will have in terms of housing staff from both the Hastings District Council (HDC) and the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) will play a significant role for the wellbeing and safety of the wider district.

2.19 The focus on providing leadership in reducing risk, being ready for, responding to and recovering from emergencies, as well as safety in the Hastings district including holistic wellbeing (cultural, physical, social), reinforces the notion of partnership across a number of tiers including our Māori (mana whenua) partners. It is for these reasons as well as aspirations of HDC and mana whenua working collaboratively across all manner of things in our district that providing and physically adding some cultural artefacts (whakairo) to the new EMO building will go a long way to fulfilling both HDC’s and the CDEM’s partnership relationship objectives with mana whenua.

2.20 Discussions with kaumātua (elders) and other mana whenua partners has given birth to the aspiration that it would therefore be fitting and culturally appropriate to have a carved entrance around the main door - a pare (lintel) and whakawae (uprights) holding up the pare either side of the doorway. This collection of Whakairo would not only support the purpose and function of the EMO building to keep our community safe but they would also and just as importantly, ground the EMO building and its role to its catchment; to the wider district, to place, to Heretaunga.

2.21 Local master carver, Takaputai (Taka) Walker (QSM), provided his scope and expertise on the concept of the whakairo and was contracted to undertake and complete the Whakairo for the EMO building. The expected benefits of the Whakairo adorning the new EMO building are numerous and include:

· Aesthetic benefits;

· Cultural significance and relevance benefits;

· Social benefits;

· Treaty of Waitangi partnership benefits; and,

· Overall holistic benefits for the HDC and CDEM that centre on cultural safety, good public [partnership] relations and the Whakairo will link the building, its purpose and function to the place-based landscape and history of Heretaunga and the wider region.

2.22 The building is due to be blessed on the morning of August 19^th, the whakairo will be installed in early September and then officially opened on 6 September 2019 with the Minister of CDEM the Honourable Peeni Henare to officiate.

Mana Whakahono-ā-rohe:

2.23 On 21 June 2019, Ngāti Pārau Hapū Trust (NPHT) formally initiated a Mana Whakahono-a-Rohe with all three councils, Hastings District Council, Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and the Napier City Council in their takiwā, and to work on a single agreement.

2.24 The relevant teams across all three councils have held a series of hui in the last month to plan and strategise the appropriate approach to take including, seeking legal advice, undertaking individual Council SWOT analyses, holding follow-up discussion hui as well as hui with NPHT themselves (Attachment 3).

This is new territory for all three councils and so presents an opportunity to develop a method and approach that can be applied across entities with respect to their distinctness. Pressing the ‘start button’ on a Mana Whakahono-ā-Rohe initiation sets a formal timeline in motion where the local authorities (HDC, HBRC and NCC) have up to 60 days in which we must respond by way of convening a hui with the initiating authority (NPHT). At this hui, the timing and process for negotiating a Mana Whakahono-ā-rohe will occur.

HDC Induction/Te Ara Tika Heretaunga Essential Learning:

2.25 In recent months, HDC have held three pōhiri/induction days to welcome new staff into the Council. Pōhiri have been planned and have taken place in Chambers with staff playing key roles throughout the ritual of engagement that is uniquely Māori. Staff have filled the positions of kaikaranga, kaikōrero and in doing so have also attained the capacity to stand and perform appropriate waiata.

2.26 This would not have been possible without training and or professional learning and development with regard to te reo Māori me ōna tikanga. The Pou Ahurea have also assisted in some aspects of the induction tour to highlight and talk to key landmarks and or spaces of cultural significance across the district. The most recent pōhiri / induction day was help on Friday 9 August.

HDC Tangata Whenua Wastewater Subcommittee:

2.27 This Subcommittee of Council have held two hui and a workshop recently that have been facilitated by the Pou Ahurea role. A significant undertaking has been the replacement and appropriate appointment of new tangata whenua members where two vacancies have existed for almost a year now as well as an update on the consent.

2.28 The 2014 consent embodies new conditions related to a Committee similar to that which previously existed. Condition 29 of the new consent provides for the Council to establish and maintain a Committee that has a range of functions that are not dissimilar to the existing requirements but are different and require the Council to adopt new terms of reference. The consent requires Tangata Whenua representatives where there are some caveats around the representatives in particular. The consent (condition 29) explicitly refers to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (especially those of partnership and consultation) and recognising the role of Tangata Whenua as kaitiaki.

2.29 This implies a need to ensure that the selection of those representatives also has alignment with the principles of partnership and consultation and the role as kaitiaki. The implication is that selection of the representatives requires some consultation and potentially nomination of those representatives to the Committee. It is also implied that there is a need to consider who rightfully fulfils the role as kaitiaki, which suggests that those who exercise that role have not only Tangata Whenua status but Mana Whenua status too.

2.30 On July 12 2019, the Committee held a workshop where discussion also centred on the evolution of the appointment process from the former and respective Heretaunga Māori and Ahuriri Māori Executives to the new landscape that was now inclusive of the Post-Settlement Governance Entities (PSGEs) and two Taiwhenua (Heretaunga and Te Whanganui-a-Orotū). Given the geography associated with the Wastewater Plant, two of the regions six PSGEs were directly linked - Heretaunga Tamatea Settlement Trust (HTST) and Mana Ahuriri Trust (MAT).

2.31 It was clear that Council could not and cannot tell Māori how to appoint Tangata Whenua to the Committee rather, that was for Tangata Whenua to decide. It was advised as with any committee of Council that future appointees be provided with appropriate training and information for the Committee including that, decision-making needed people with the right skills; as opposed to a committee where Maori representatives did not have the appropriate skills or capacity to participate.

2.32 The role of Tangata Whenua representatives is to provide a conduit to the diversity of local Māori communities where the role of the representative was not necessarily to make decisions on behalf of a community but how to address topical issues. That is, Tangata whenua representatives are seen and viewed as a voice for discussion where such discussions and information can be taken back to a/ the community.

2.33 The meeting agreed that Dr Graham facilitate discussion with Peter Paku, Tania Kupa-Huata and Marei Apatu to discuss:

(i) Who will make the appointments;

(ii) Two replacement tangata whenua representatives;

(iii) The size of the Committee; and,

(iv) The term of office on the Committee;

2.34 As agreed in the Workshop in order to move forward on the process of tangata whenua appointments to the HDC: Tangata Whenua Joint Wastewater Committee it was important for the tangata whenua members to agree on the appropriate way forward. Consequently, the following was agreed upon:

(i) The two PSGEs will be responsible for their respective appointments to the Committee; three from Heretaunga Tamatea Settlement Trust (given that the main jurisdiction and demographic resides within HTST) and two from Mana Ahuriri Trust. These nominations are then put forward to the Committee, then go to Council for ratification.

(ii) With the two current vacancies, the HTST through Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga have put forward Marei Apatu and Beverley Te Huia to be appointed as Tangata Whenua representatives on the HDC: Tangata Whenua Joint Wastewater Committee. Both nominated appointees have the necessary skills, attributes and capacity to participate on the Committee and fulfil the necessary obligations and responsibilities.

(iii) The size of the Committee would see the status quo remain in place and so the Committee will comprise of five Councillors and five Tangata Whenua representatives.

(iv) The term of office on the Committee would also support the status quo where Councillors would be appointed at the beginning of a new triennium.

(v) The Terms of Reference for the HDC: Tangata Whenua Joint Wastewater Committee shall be subject to review by the Joint Committee at its first meeting following each local government triennial election.

Iwitoi Kahungunu Arts Week:

2.35 The Hastings District Council worked alongside IwiToi Kahungunu, to develop and create a cultural celebration in art. Consequently, the ‘Main Street Heretaunga Toi/Art Week’ initiative was successfully held in the first week of the July school holidays this year, an initiative that enabled local contexts, multicultural contexts and notions of ‘place’ to be celebrated through the visual arts in collaboration and partnership with our district’s schools.

2.36 This initiative was hosted in the centre of our city (CBD) through involving the Hastings City Business Association and our local retailers where [school] learners’ art works were displayed in retailers’ window spaces for the public to view. The ‘Main Street Heretaunga Toi/Art Week’ initiative built on the notion of community connectedness that involves Hastings city’s primary schools, our CBD retailers on Heretaunga Street, the Hastings City Business Association, Iwi Toi Kahungunu, and the Hastings District Council.

2.37 The value of the initiative was significant for its positive implications for our city and indeed, wider community. Bringing the whole community together via schools and our learners, the visual arts and cultural narratives through a specific theme titled – Cultural Legends of our Ancestors, enabled and nurtured our relationships with each other, showcased the talents and knowledge of our schools’ and our diverse learner population, while also brought to prominence our diverse narratives and histories.

2.38 In summary, the initiative titled, ‘Main Street Heretaunga Toi/Art Week’ had its focus on our primary schools and a cultural celebration in art. The impetus was on utilising our natural environment and the stories/narratives that make our environment so special and real through the visual arts. In doing so, we were able to celebrate place-based learning, culture, identity, connectedness and wellbeing through the arts.

CBD Cultural Narratives/Laneways:

2.39 Work with the Planning and Regulatory Group is ongoing across a number of projects as this update report describes. Another of these projects worthy of mention is the CBD Laneways where more laneways will be opening up over the next few years here in Hastings. Cultural advice is being offered and contributing to the respective projects as each gets underway in order to recognise and acknowledge the cultural narratives that reflect ‘place’, history and culture (Attachment).

TE Ika-A-Māui Whakairo:

2.40 We have had involvement in two hui out at the Hawke’s Bay Regional Prison who were wanting to gift a carving/whakairo to Council. The whakairo represented Māui and his brothers fishing up Te Ika-a-Māui. Following these hui and further logistical arrangements that centred on the presentation of the whakairo to Council that included participation by two current inmates who were mainly responsible for the whakairo, a mihi whakatau was held and karakia performed in late June to welcome the whakairo to Council and those responsible for its construction.

Community Karakia Blessings:

2.41 We are consistently involved internally and externally out in the community leading karakia for specific sites, events and or occurrences of cultural significance. While it is important

Te Ara Kahikatea Sculptures:

2.42 Engagement with mana whenua and local artists continues with regard to Te Ara Kahikatea and the cultural enhancement of this arterial route. The concept is that three sculptures will be placed at strategic positions along the arterial; at Pākōwhai, at the Mangateretere end, and one near the centre alongside the industrial area at Whakatū. The sculpture designs reflect the nature and history of the area (Attachment 4) and mana whenua endorsement to progress these concepts to the next stage has just been attained through a series of hui facilitated by the Manaaki Taiao team at Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga.

2.43 Te Ara Kahikatea was also recently part of the LGNZ Excellence Awards 2019 (Attachment 5) and while we did not win the main prize, we did achieve an award in another institution’s awards - The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA).

2.44 The Te Ara Kahikatea roading project was a runner up in the Best Public Works Project over $5 million category. Consultants GHD, Stantec and Mitchell Daysh provided engineering design of the works for Hastings District Council, and the project was constructed by Higgins. Key groups that provided community input to the project were the Whakatū Community Liaison Group and Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga.

2.45 The design of this road, Te Ara Kahikatea, had significant input from the Hastings Community, starting with a truly blank page. The experts – engineers, project managers and financial managers, were constantly available to the key stakeholder committee for support and advice, but the location of the route, from start to finish, belongs to the community.

Toitoi Hawke’s Bay Arts And Events Centre:

2.46 We have been involved in the community consultation and engagement process for the rebranding of what is currently known as the Hawke’s Bay Opera House and Municipal Buildings / Plaza. This process has included hui and then kanohi ki te kanohi visits with key stakeholders in the local performing arts and mana whenua in order to gain valuable feedback on appropriate branding for the whole facility.

Mahaanui Kura Taiao:

2.47 As we all know environmental consent applications, cultural impact assessments and a host of other taiao-related and or other council-related requests come through each of our doors every week. Not all of us have in-house technical capability and capacity or affordable consultants within easy reach, to manage these effectively. In meeting with our counterparts at HBRC (Pieri Munro, Joella Brown, Amy Minster) and NCC (Charles Ropitini), discussions have centred on consent applications and the dynamics associated with these including, time, resource, mana whenua parties, questions about who to contact, questions on costs and expenses and so on.

2.48 Most of us do the best we have with very limited and diminishing resources. So the question for us has been how might we do this differently and in a way of shared economies of scale? Is that shared collective point of technical expertise, learning and residual knowledge existent now and operating at the best cost-benefit ratio for us?

2.49 Mahaanui Kura Taiao Limited (MKT) is a resource and environmental management advisory company established in 2007 by the six local Papatipu Rūnanga within a region bound by the Hurunui river to the north, Hakatere river to the south, Kā Tiritiri o te Moana to the west, and the Pacific Ocena to the east.

2.50 MKT’s role is to assist and improve the recognition and protection of mana whenua values in their takiwā. MKT has a general mandate to represent the interests of the six Papatipu Rūnanga who hold manawhenua rights and interests over the lands and waters within their respective takiwā. MKT also provides commercial planning and environmental services to private clients and the general public.

2.51 In early August, the HBRC’s Māori Standing Committee facilitated a hui by way of invitation to Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Inc, Taiwhenua, iwi post-settlement governance entities (PSGEs) and Māori Iwi Authorities to hear a presentation from Tania Wati (MKT Chief Executive) and Kyle Davis (MKT Manager Mātauranga Taiao) on how MKT was established and is working in their rohe, and to participate in a workshop to follow that might consider investigating feasibility of a like-type model across Te Matau a Māui.

2.52 The three Councils also held a three-hour workshop on the second day of their visit to Hawke’s Bay that was specifically for the three territorial authorities, and to build on the first day’s hui and findings in meeting with mana whenua.

Other:

2.53 The Pou Ahurea team are involved in other consultative and or cultural advisory roles including the Eastside Master Plan (PGF) feasibility study application/RFP, Hawke’s Bay Museum Trust taonga/taonga storage, Planning and Regulatory resource consent application support, Papa Kāinga development, customer service requests (email, telephone, kanohi ki te kanohi), and daily emails from both internal and external of the organisation from those seeking information, advice, support and or advocacy regarding kaupapa Māori.

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND REASONS

A) That the report of the Pou Ahurea Matua - Principal Advisor: Relationships, Responsiveness and Heritage titled “Pou Ahurea Matua / Pou Ahurea Update” dated 14/08/2019 be received.

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 good quality local infrastructure and local public services.
