Considerations
1. Community and Māori Impact Statement
The approval of the draft plans will have benefits for Māori as approval precedes formal consultation on the documents. Consultation will provide various opportunities for Māori to express their views on the draft Beach Management Plan and a process for the Board to consider these views individually and collectively, prior to approval of the Final Beach Management Plan.
2. Financial implications
There are no additional financial implications associated with approving the draft plans and evaluation document attached to this agenda report.
Tuhinga | Background
Initial public engagement to help develop the draft took place over ten weeks from mid-July to late September 2019 and involved four hui, three public drop-in events, development of a website and the circulation of a consultation document to all post boxes in Te Hiku. The board subsequently gathered more information last summer to ‘ground truth’ what they had already been told with the Te Hiku community and beach users, as well as capture views from absentee landowners and others home for summer.
Following early engagement consultants Steve Sanson and David Badham, with input from the Technical Steering Group and Matua Graeme Neho, worked to develop drafts for the Beach Management Plan, Reserve Management Plans, Supporting Evaluation Document and the Deliberation Reports. These documents were subject to public consultation in September/October 2020. Following consultation on the draft plans, Steve and David provided recommendations to the Board as to appropriate changes to the plans following feedback received during consultation. The Board will have deliberated on these changes and the draft Beach Management Plan is now ready for final notification and is subject to final Board approval only (Attachments 1 and 2).
Reserve Management Plans
The BMP must include Reserve Management Plans for areas A, B, C and D which must provide for the matters set out in section 41(3) of the Reserves Act 1977. Only the iwi representatives on the Board have authority to make decisions over these areas.
Steve Sanson has worked with iwi members on the Reserve Management Plans since the June meeting. Subject to any direction on the current documents, the Reserve Management Plans can be made ready for final notification following Board approval.
Supporting Document
It is a requirement of the settlement legislation that a supporting document is developed that:
“… must consider and document the potential alternatives to, and potential benefits and costs of, the matters provided for in the draft plan[1]”
The final Supporting Evaluation Document was approved at the Board meeting held on 21 August 2020. No changes have been made to the Supporting Evaluation Document.
Final Stage
Marked up versions of the Final draft documents will be made available under separate cover. Subsequent to Board approval of content, updates to the graphical documents will be undertaken by contractors Level.
