TITLE:	Health Check update
From:	Sheila Taylor, Kaiārahi Kaupapa Māori
Authorised by Group Manager/s:	Auriole Ruka, Pou Manawhakahaere - GM Governance and Engagement, on 2 December 2021

 

This paper is to provide an update to Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party (TTMAC) on the status of the 2021 Treaty Health Check (Health Check). The paper seeks endorsement from the non-elected members of TTMAC of the amended draft process/timeline, which was previously endorsed at the August 2021 TTMAC working party meeting.

Subsequent to TTMAC non-elected members endorsement, council will consider the proposed process/timeline for formal approval.

Staff will make a presentation to TTMAC with further detail about Te Arawhiti’s capability framework and the draft process and timeline for delivering the Health Check.

It is recommended that staff continue to work with the Māori Technical Advisory Group (MTAG) to provide direction and advice as provided in the process and timeline by utilising the Te Arawhiti Māori Crown relations capability framework.

1.         That the report ‘Health Check update’ by Sheila Taylor, Kaiārahi Kaupapa Māori and dated 26 November 2021, be received.

2.         That the non-elected members of Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party, endorse the amended 2021/22 Treaty Health Check process/timeline for council consideration.

3.         That staff continue to work with MTAG to provide direction and advice as provided in the process and timeline by utilising the Te Arawhiti Maori Crown relations capability framework.

In late 2020, the non-elected members of TTMAC were asked to provide input and advice into the 2021-2031 long term planning process of council. This was achieved via a series of workshops with MTAG. Feedback (including a Te Tiriti Health Check) was presented to TTMAC who subsequently endorsed MTAG recommendations.

In late June 2021, council approved its Long Term Plan (LTP) 2021-2031 which included on-going funding for a Health Check.  Council recognises the importance of meeting its Treaty of Waitangi responsibilities and undertaking an independent review of how council is meeting these legislative responsibilities is an important part of ensuring these obligations are met.

In August 2021, the Health Check process and timeline was presented to TTMAC and was subsequently endorsed by the non-elected members of TTMAC.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi vs the Treaty of Waitangi:

Consideration as to Te Tiriti or Treaty is beyond the scope of the health check. The Te Arawhiti framework has been developed from a Treaty of Waitangi perspective and is therefore the starting point for evaluation and self-reflection. It should be noted, however, that users of the framework also need to take seriously comments and suggestions made by the Waitangi Tribunal and other external Māori commentators and organisations.

9 December 2021

 

Table 1: Proposed 2021/22 Te Tiriti Health Check process

MTAG have reviewed their proposed timeline from August 2021 and recommend the following revised process be followed for the 2021/22 Te Tiriti Health check.

 

Phase	Name	Example of detail that maybe included in this phase	Delivered by
One	Endorse process/timeline	TTMAC December working party meeting	Dec-21
Two	Agreeing the benchmark and setting expectations	MTAG (on behalf of TTMAC) to provide initial direction and guidance by utilising the Te Arawhiti Māori Crown relations capability framework, MTAG to provide an initial evaluation as to: ·    Where council are currently positioned (based on their knowledge of council) ·    where they would like to see council in the next 1-5 years.	Jan-21
Three	Approve process/timeline	Council meeting to review and approve the health check scope, process and timeline. Note: For the health check to be effective, the process must be driven by a genuine desire of council and Tangata Whenua to self-reflect. This phase of the health check is the keystone to setting realistic expectations and will provide clear guidance on what the health check is seeking to achieve.	Feb-22
Four	Setting the scope of the health check	This phase will be informed by phase two and may be run in conjunction with phase five.	Feb-22
Five	Developing the health check approach	This will include amongst other things, developing: 1.    key deliverables 2.    Who will need to be involved in the health check 3.    Who will undertake the health check on behalf of council and TTMAC   How independence will be achieved will also be developed during this phase. A review team will also need to be identified.	Feb-22
Six	Undertake health check	This stage will likely include staff, council and tangata whenua engagement as well as the independent assessor.	Apr-22
Seven	Delivering health check results and recommendations	Health check results and recommendations to be delivered to TTMAC.	May-22
Eight	Council deliberation workshop	This workshop may be a part of the deliberations on Y2 LTP 2021-28. Council will deliberate and approve resourcing of recommended health check actions and agree associated performance measurements and indicators of success.	Jun-22
Nine	Initiate actions to achieve benchmark status	Year Two – Long Term Plan 2021-2031 commences.	July-22

TITLE:	Meeting schedule for 2022
ID:
From:	Sally Bowron, Strategy, Governance and Engagement Team Admin/PA
Authorised by Group Manager:	Auriole Ruka, Pou Manawhakahaere - GM Governance and Engagement, on 2 December 2021

 

The purpose of this report is to confirm the meeting dates for this working party’s formal meetings and workshops for 2022.

 

The proposed dates follow the existing schedule of meeting the second Thursday of each month, with no meeting in January.

 

With local body elections being held in October, there will be a hiatus after September while elections take place and the governance structure is agreed to by the new council.

 

Formal meetings will be held in Council Chambers. For the regional marae-based hui, see Item X which proposes to replace regional hui with virtual/Chambers workshops in 2022 to address the changing covid-19 restrictions and focus on the priorities identified within TTMAC’s Strategic Intent 2021-2040.

 

1.         That the report ‘Meeting schedule for 2022’ by Sally Bowron, Strategy, Governance and Engagement Team Admin/PA and dated 12 November 2021, be received.

2.         That the meeting dates for 2021 are as follows (all fall on the second Thursday of the month):

10 February (workshop)

10 March (formal meeting)

14 April (workshop)

12 May (formal meeting)

9 June (workshop)

14 July (formal meeting)

11 August (workshop)

8 September (formal meeting)

13 October – TBC – dependent on local body election date

November – dependent on new council’s governance statement

December – dependent on new council’s governance statement

Tip for writing good recommendations:

· Recommendations should identify all decisions that are needed. 

· If only one recommendation do not number.

· Write the option out in full, rather than referring to an option in the report.  Set out clear options for councillors to decide between if necessary. 

· Recommendations must be within the power of the meeting to make the decision. 

· Avoid redundant or unnecessary statements and acronyms.

· If a report is proposed, recommend a realistic date and state to which committee the proposed report back is to be made.

·      If it is deemed that there is high risk associated with a decision then include recognition of risk in the resolution.

TITLE:	Regional marae-based hui
From:	Auriole Ruka, Pou Manawhakahaere - GM Governance and Engagement
Authorised by Group Manager/s:	Auriole Ruka, Pou Manawhakahaere - GM Governance and Engagement, on 2 December 2021

 

At the June 2021 Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party (TTMAC) meeting, members requested a presentation from Mike Smith, Climate Change Iwi Chair, on the te ao Māori world view of climate change. At the October TTMAC meeting, aligned with the Tāngata Whenua Water Advisory Group’s (TWWAG) desire for a meeting, TTMAC requested a workshop with TWWAG so the roopu could gain a better understanding of each others respective mahi, particularly with regard to Te Mana o Te Wai and the National Freshwater Policy Statement requirements.

These requests, combined with the changing nature of covid-19 restrctions that make it difficut to plan with certainty for regional marae-based hui, led to a virtual TTMAC workshop being held on 18 November 2021 focused on Ngā Whainga Climate change and Water/marine, with Mike Smith and the Tangata Whenua Water Advisory Group (TWWAG) Co-Chairs Delaraine Armstrong and Dave Milner providing presentations, followed by further discussion.

In light of the continuing covid-19 environment and a commitment to maintaining the safety and well-being of TTMAC members, this report proposes that the bi-monthly regional marae-based meetings are replaced with virtual workshops.

The workshops’ purpose would be to focus on the priorities identified within TTMAC’s Strategic Intent 2021-2040 relevant to each of the key Ngā Whainga/Desired Goals of Climate crisis, Water/marine, Capacity and capability, Māori representation, Economic development. The workshops would help to advise and inform TTMAC on important issues and impacts on tangata whenua including the political environment of local government review, legislative changes and Resource Management Act reforms.

The following dates are proposed as an updated schedule for TTMAC workshops:

TTMAC virtual/Chambers workshop date	Ngā Whainga
10 February 2022	Māori representation
14 April 2022 (day before Good Friday)	Regional Economic Development Strategy Roll-out and implementation
9 June 2022	To be advised
11 August 2022	To be advised

 

1.         That the report ‘Regional marae-based hui’ by Auriole Ruka, Pou Manawhakahaere - GM Governance and Engagement and dated 26 November 2021, be received.

2.         That Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party’s (TTMAC) regional marae-based hui are replaced with workshops based on the Ngā Whainga in TTMAC’s Strategic Intent 2021-2040 as follows:

Date	Ngā Whainga
10 February 2022	Māori representation
14 April 2022 (day before Good Friday)	Regional Economic Development Strategy Roll-out and implementation
9 June 2022	To be advised
11 August 2022	To be advised

3.         That a workshop in place of a regional hui be held on Thursday, 10 February, 2021.

Tip for writing good recommendations:

·  Recommendations should identify all decisions that are needed. 

·  If only one recommendation do not number.

·  Write the option out in full, rather than referring to an option in the report.  Set out clear options for councillors to decide between if necessary. 

·  Recommendations must be within the power of the meeting to make the decision.

TITLE:	Tāngata whenua and council environmental monitoring
From:	Justin Murfitt, Strategic Policy Specialist
Authorised by Group Manager/s:	Jonathan Gibbard, Pou Tiaki Taiao – Group Manager Environmental Services, on 25 November 2021

 

This report provides an overview of the policy context for tāngata whenua involvement in the development and implementation of council’s environmental monitoring programme. While council recognises the importance and benefits of greater participation by tāngata whenua in environmental monitoring, there is currently no policy direction or guidance for council staff or tangata whenua as to what council position is and how council will support and encourage this to occur.

 

This report recommends that policy and procedures be developed to outline council position and provide guidance as to how council will achieve greater engagement and participation by tāngata whenua in council monitoring activities. More specifically, it is suggested that the policy set how council will:

·    Engage with tāngata whenua in relation to changes to the monitoring programme (including related reporting and communications)

·    Engage with tāngata whenua in relation to operational matters relating to council monitoring activities 

·    Better enable and support participation by tāngata whenua in council monitoring activities

·    Support tāngata whenua to undertake their own environmental monitoring (including through the provision of funding and operational / technical support)

 

It is requested that staff be authorised to work with the Māori Technical Advisory Group (MTAG) on the development of the policy.

 

1.         That the report ‘Tāngata whenua and council environmental monitoring’ by Justin Murfitt, Strategic Policy Specialist and dated 18 November 2021, be received.

2.         That the working party endorse the development of policy and procedures to achieve better tāngata whenua engagement and participation in councils environmental monitoring activities and outline how council can support tāngata whenua environmental monitoring mahi.

3.         That the working party approve staff engagement with the Māori Technical Advisory Group in development of the policy and procedure guidance. 

4.         That the working party be kept updated with progress and the draft policy and procedures be brought back to the working party for endorsement and recommendation to council for adoption.

Current situation

While there have been steps made to enable greater participation by tāngata whenua in councils environmental monitoring activity and to support tangata whenua to undertake environmental monitoring themselves, this has been in the absence of clear policy, procedures and strategic intent. Much of the activities to date have been led by tangata whenua proactively seeking council support and by individual council staff and teams also proactively seeking to engage with tangata whenua through their activities.  By more clearly articulating councils strategic intent and providing policy and procedural guidance it is envisaged that this will support council and tangata whenua to increase this engagement and participation in a more coordinated and proactive manner.  It will also enable tangata whenua to hold council to account. 

 

For example, while council has resourcing to assist tāngata whenua to undertake their own monitoring (including funding), it is often underutilised and there is limited guidance for staff on how this should be allocated. There is also little guidance currently available for staff as to what extent they should engage with tāngata whenua on operational monitoring matters (such as installation of equipment or undertaking monitoring surveys or investigations).

 

Government direction

Councils desire to increase its involvement and support for tangata whenua to participate in council environmental monitoring activities and to undertake their own monitoring activities is strongly supported by recent government direction.  The government has clearly signalled through recent resource management system reform the need for greater involvement by tāngata whenua in council activities (similar signals have been included in early local government reform messaging). The governments ‘essential freshwater’ package also includes specific direction on participation by tangata whenua in freshwater planning, implementation and monitoring – this is particularly evident in the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 (NPS-FM).

 

This means a fundamental shift in approach for a wide range of council activities is needed – council supports this shift but recognises it will take time to embed and will rely on an ongoing conversations between council and tāngata whenua. It should also be recognised that there are resourcing implications for both tāngata whenua and council that will need to be addressed. 

 

Next steps

It is recommended that staff and MTAG be authorised to work together to develop a policy and procedures to guide council on:

1.    Engagement with tāngata whenua in relation to the monitoring programme as a whole, including:

·    Engagement on potential changes / reviews to the programme

·    Potential changes to monitoring approaches (such as sites, methods, or attributes to be monitored)

·    Approaches to reporting and communicating the environmental monitoring results.

2.    Better enabling participation by tāngata whenua in council monitoring activities including:

·    Participation of tāngata whenua (such as kaitiaki)

·    Potential for transfer of monitoring functions.

3.    Involving tāngata whenua in relation to operational matters relating to council monitoring activities, including:

·    Proposals to Install equipment and / or undertake surveys or site-specific projects

·    Investigations into trends / results

·    Analysing, reporting, and communicating results.

4.    Supporting tāngata whenua to undertake environmental monitoring, including:

·    A protocol on allocation and use of councils annual tāngata whenua monitoring fund (of $20,000)

·    Operational / technical support for tāngata whenua monitoring activity (such as training and programme support).

Matters beyond the scope of the policy would include interpretation of Te Mana o te Wai and identification of Māori values for water and associated attributes (on the basis these are to be progressed through the freshwater plan change and the work of the Tāngata Whenua Water Advisory Group). Future changes as a result of these workstreams can be incorporated into the monitoring programme once confirmed / developed. It should also be noted that councils environmental monitoring is not limited to freshwater and includes air quality, biodiversity, soil health and coastal environments.  

 

The development of clear council policy procedures on tāngata whenua participation in environmental monitoring is likely to be of benefit to council and tāngata whenua, especially in promoting and enabling the sharing of knowledge, development of monitoring capacity and grows the understanding of the environment of Te Tai Tokerau from both a ‘western science’ and Te Ao Māori perspective. 

 

It is requested that staff be able to work with MTAG on development of draft policy and procedures. It is likely that elements can be progressed independently if needed or considered a priority (for example a protocol on allocation of the councils annual tāngata whenua monitoring fund).  Progress on the development of the policy and procedures will be reported back to the working party for endorsement.

TITLE:	Local government review
From:	Ben Lee, Policy and Planning Manager
Authorised by Group Manager/s:	Jonathan Gibbard, Pou Tiaki Taiao – Group Manager Environmental Services, on 25 November 2021

 

The purpose of this report is:

·    To update Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party (TTMAC) on Government’s process for reviewing local government

·    Outline council’s initial approach for considering the issues and future options and opportunities for a new local government

·    Seek TTMAC feedback on how they would like to be involved, and

·    Outline an initial piece of work council would like TTMAC feedback on to better understand tangata whenua perspectives on local government and the issues, options and opportunities.

 

 

1.         That the report ‘Local government review ’ by Ben Lee, Policy and Planning Manager and dated 25 November 2021, be received.

2.         That Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party’s (TTMAC) tangata whenua members agree to working with council with the aim of forming a collective view on the future form of local government for Northland.

3.         That members __________ work with staff to develop a plan for how council and tangata whenua TTMAC members can work together to achieve Recommendation 2.

4.         That TTMAC endorses commissioning an independent consultant to undertake an initial series of interviews with tangata whenua leaders on their perspectives of a future local government for Northland.

5.         That TTMAC recommend the following be interviewed ________

On 23 April 2021 the Minister of Local Government (the Minister) established a Review into the Future for Local Government (the Review). The Review is to consider, report and make recommendations on this matter to the Minister. Refer to http://www.futureforlocalgovernment.govt.nz website for updates on the Review.

 

The overall purpose of the Review is:

“…to identify how the system of local democracy and governance needs to evolve over the next 30 years, to improve the wellbeing of New Zealand communities and the environment, and actively embody the Treaty partnership.”

 

More specifically, the scope of the review into local government will focus on the:

·    roles, functions and partnerships

·    representation and governance

·    funding and financing.

The Review is being undertaken by a Panel appointed by Cabinet and represent a range of background and experience, including Te Ao Māori perspectives, strong connections with the community, knowledge of local government issues, and urban and rural representation^[1].

 

The Review Panel’s programme:

1.    30 September 2021: an interim report presented to the Minister signaling the probable direction of the review and key next steps (this is complete and available on the website);

2.    September 2021 to April 2022 will be a time for broad exploratory kōrero on a set of priority questions, through wānanga, workshops and online, with a range of groups and communities. The priority questions are:

a.    How should the system of local governance be reshaped so it can adapt to future challenges and enable communities to thrive?

b.    What are the future functions, roles and essential features of New Zealand’s system of local government?

c.    How might a system of local governance embody authentic partnership under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, creating conditions for shared prosperity and wellbeing?

d.    What needs to change so local government and its leaders can best reflect and respond to the communities they serve??

e.    What should change in local governance funding and financing to ensure viability and sustainability, fairness and equity, and maximum wellbeing?

3.    In early 2022 the Review Panel will release an online tool to help people share ideas and views.

4.    In March/April 2022 the Review Panel will also connect with local authorities to share our thoughts and get feedback on key ideas and opportunities.

5.    From April to August 2022 the Review Panel will focus on testing and refining key ideas and approaches for the future for local governance and democracy.

6.    30 September 2022: Draft report and recommendations to be issued for public consultation

7.    30 April 2023: Review presents final report to the Minister and Local Government New Zealand.

 

Once it receives the final report, Government will then decide whether to proceed with the reforms.

 

Council is currently considering how it will participate in the local government review process.  The initial direction from council is they want to:

·    actively participate in the review process

·    collectively develop a position on the future form of local government for Northland with tangata whenua (primarily through TTMAC and Te Kahu o Taonui)

·    have undertaken some early thinking ready for the conversation with the Review Panel in March/April (step 4 above)

·    have a fully formed view by October 2022 – ready to participate in the consultation on the Review Panel’s draft report (step 6 above).

 

Question for tangata whenua TTMAC members - do you see value in being involved in working with council to develop a collective view on a future form of local government for Northland? If the answer is ‘yes’, then staff would like to work with tangata whenua TTMAC members on how we can work together on this review, and to bring this back to the next TTMAC meeting (February 2022).  Given the tight timeframes and holidays, staff propose that the tangata whenua TTMAC members nominate 2-3 members to work with staff on the project plan.

 

Feedback is also sought on a piece of work we think would provide a helpful starting point for informing a tangata whenua perspective on local government. It would involve commissioning an appropriate independent consultant to undertake a series of interviews with tangata whenua leaders at all levels. We would aim to finish this in time to inform the March 2022 Review Panel engagement.  The aim would be to capture a broad picture of tangata whenua perspectives and ideas, and highlight particular matters/issues that will focus a more in-depth conversation with tangata whenua moving forward.

 

Staff would welcome any recommendations from tangata whenua members of TTMAC of individuals who should be interviewed.

 

Council will also be undertaking some work to assess its functions (and those undertaken by other agencies that are closely related), to help inform an initial view on where the functions would best be delivered (nationally, regionally or locally).  We’re aiming to have this completed by March also.

 

At the time of writing, staff were scheduled to present a similar paper to this one to Iwi and Local Government Chief Executives (ILGACE) on 7 December.  A verbal update on the outcome of this meeting will be provided to TTMAC during the meeting.

1.         That the report ‘Local government elections 2022’ by Natasha Stubbing, Marketing and Engagement Manager and dated 26 November 2021, be received.

2.         That Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party (TTMAC) provides input and ideas into the development of a joint campaign, with a focus on how we can encourage Māori to enrol, stand and vote in the upcoming local elections. 

3.         That TTMAC nominate two representatives to provide guidance and leadership for the  joint elections campaign.

A Northland working group has been established to prepare for the Local Government Elections, with election day being 8 October 2022.  The group meets monthly and has representation from all four Northland councils (NRC, WDC, KDC, FNDC), Election Services and the Electoral Commission.  The goal is to have a united Northland approach to plan, promote and implement the 2022 local government elections.

 

Northland joint council electoral campaign

The four Northland councils have collaborated for the past two local government elections to run a joint marketing and promotional campaign. The previous campaigns have focused on showcasing local Northlanders using strong imagery and videography.  

 

The campaign has three key phases – Enrol, Stand and Vote and is a multi-channeled, campaign across several months.   

 

This election, all Northland councils have decided to create Māori wards/constituencies as part of their representation arrangements, to better reflect the needs and aspirations of the entire community. 

 

Key dates to be aware of:

·    May – National ratepayer roll campaign starts

·    1 July – Electoral Commission Enrolment update campaign starts

·    Friday 15 July – Nominations open / roll open for inspection

·    Friday 12 August – Nominations close / enrolment to vote closes

·    16 September – 21 September – Delivery of voting documents

·    Saturday 8 October – Election day

 

Marketing and engagement campaign – feedback

Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) research shows that there’s a high degree of apathy towards local body elections. We’re also up against broad competition in the advertising (and particularly social media) space with covid-19, making it more difficult than ever to cut through the clutter.

 

In order to grab people’s attention, and encourage people to engage with us, we need to be bold and take a fresh approach.  It is also the first time all four Northland councils have dedicated Māori seats on council.  Therefore, it is important we acknowledge the engagement required for tangata whenua.  We also need to inform the community about what this means and enable people to participate in the local elections process.

 

We’ll look to do this by using engaging graphics and a series of attention-grabbing videos. We will deliver a cross-channel integrated marketing campaign which includes public relations (PR), radio and print advertising, and social media.

 

The campaign will be split into three phases: enrol, stand and vote.

We are keen to get your input and ideas to feed into the development of our joint campaign on how we can encourage Māori to enrol, stand and vote in the upcoming local elections.  

 

National campaign

LGNZ and Taituara (Local Government Professionals Aotearoa) will also run a joint VOTE 2022 campaign, which is currently in the concept phase.  However, two of the underlying themes will be:

·    For candidates: “What do you stand for?”

·    For voters: “What makes you tick?”

TITLE:	Coastal Occupation Charging
From:	Michael Payne, Policy Specialist
Authorised by Group Manager/s:	Jonathan Gibbard, Pou Tiaki Taiao – Group Manager Environmental Services, on 26 November 2021

 

At their 12 August meeting, Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party (TTMAC) resolved to seek advice from the Māori Technical Advisory Group (MTAG) on the design of a potential coastal occupation charging regime for Northland and recommendations on how to reflect Māori values and aspirations in a discussion document. MTAG considered this matter at their meeting on 25 September and 25 November meetings.

The discussion document has been updated in light of MTAG’s advice. Amendments are shown as highlighted text in the attached document for TTMAC’s consideration. 

 

1.         That the report title Coastal Occupation Charging by Michael Payne be received.

2.         That staff work with Māori Technical Advisory Group members to develop the section on ‘tangata whenua perspective on coastal occupation charging’.

3.         That recommendations from the Māori Technical Advisory Group contained in the document titled Coastal Occupation Charging Discussion Document - November 2021     and the development of a new section on tangata whenua perspective be endorsed and recommended to council for consideration.

 

 

There are over 3,500 coastal structures in Northland.  The vast majority are moorings, from the small (such as steps and culverts) to the large (such as marinas and marine farms), located in what is legally a public space.  Each of these structures provide benefits and, whilst some of these benefit the general public (eg. public jetties), many only benefit private companies or individuals.

The Resource Management Act 1991 enables regional councils to apply charges to structures that occupy space within the coastal marine area – known as ‘coastal occupation charges’ (COCs).  There are currently no coastal occupation charges in Northland.

Revenue from CoCs must be spent on the sustainable management of the coastal environment.  This could be anything from helping to pay for navigation aids, supporting coastal kaitiaki or new coastal research.

TTMAC has previously expressed support for a coastal occupation charging regime in Northland and a desire to be involved in designing that regime.

At their 12 August meeting TTMAC resolved to seek advice from MTAG on the design of a coastal occupation regime for Northland and recommendation on how to reflect Māori values and aspirations in a discussion document.  

MTAG discussed Coastal Occupation Charging and provided advice to staff on 2 September and 25 November. Key points raised were:

·    Acknowledge that tangāta whenua have mana moana.

·    Want to see money collected returned directly back towards mahi that mana whenua can do in the area that the charges are collected from.

·    Consideration must be given to Te Tiriti. 

·    Consider a more granular approach to setting the charge i.e. charge per square metre occupied.

·    Areas of exception for customary use need to be identified.

·    Consider adverse social, environmental impacts, H&S issues etc also need to be taken into consideration - structures should not necessarily be exempt from charges because of public good.

·    Consider the utility of Mana Moana Plans.

Staff have amended the draft discussion document in light of these comments. Amendments are shown as highlighted text in the attached document.

TITLE:	Mapping - guidance for council
From:	Ben Lee, Policy and Planning Manager
Authorised by Group Manager/s:	Jonathan Gibbard, Pou Tiaki Taiao – Group Manager Environmental Services, on 25 November 2021

 

The recent Significant Natural Areas (SNA) mapping situation in the Far North brought to the fore significant concerns from tangata whenua about councils’ mapping of the whenua.

This item discusses these concerns, outlines council’s role in mapping, and seeks advice from  tāngata whenua members about how council should be approaching future mapping.

 

1.         That the report ‘Mapping - guidance for council’ by Ben Lee, Policy and Planning Manager and dated 8 September 2021, be received.

The recent SNA mapping situation in the Far North brought to the fore significant concerns from tangata whenua (and wider community) about mapping of the whenua. The concerns included:

·    Lack of involvement in the design of the mapping process

·    Concerns about what the mapping meant – including views that it was akin to government claiming Māori whenua and unfairly restricting the use of Māori whenua

·    Direct impact on rangatiratanga – eroding the rights of Māori to make decisions about their whenua

·    No evidence of the need to map (and regulate).

 

Councils map aspects of the whenua for various reasons, such as:

·    Statutory requirement (e.g. councils must map Outstanding Natural Landscapes, Outstanding Natural Features and Outstanding Natural Character)

·    Identifying places that need stricter or more lenient rules (e.g. wetlands)

·    Knowing where we need to prioritise resources (e.g. where to focus soil conservation efforts to reduce sediment entering water ways)

·    To understand where people and property are most at risk (e.g. mapping high risk flood and coastal erosion areas)

·    Monitoring changes in the environment (e.g. comparing mapping over time).

 

The following is a list of just some of council’s mapping:

Mapped feature	Why map?	Mapped where?
Outstanding Natural Landscapes (on land)	Required by New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement	Regional Policy Statement
Outstanding Natural Features (on land)	Required by New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement	Regional Policy Statement
Natural character areas	Required by New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement	Regional Policy Statement Proposed Regional Plan
Coastal environment line	Required by New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement	Regional Policy Statement
Significant ecological areas (coastal marine area)	Required by New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement	Proposed Regional Plan
Significant bird areas (coastal marine area)	Required by New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement	Proposed Regional Plan
Significant marine mammal and seabird areas	Required by New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement	Proposed Regional Plan
Sites and areas of significance to tangāta whenua (fresh and coastal waters)	To protect from development that may compromise the sites and areas	Proposed Regional Plan
Regionally significant anchorages	To protect from development that would comprise high value anchorages	Proposed Regional Plan
Aquaculture exclusion areas	To provide certainty about the areas where aquaculture is not appropriate	Proposed Regional Plan
Significant surfbreaks	To protect Northland’s most significant surfbreaks	Proposed Regional Plan
Hill country and lowland areas	Differentiating areas where different requirements for fencing stock from waterways apply	Proposed Regional Plan
Erosion prone land	Stricter rules for activities that may cause erosion	Proposed Regional Plan
Wetlands	To aid management and to know where wetland related rules apply.  Council is doing some new comprehensive wetland mapping over next few years.	Council’s GIS
Tsunami evacuation zones	To help people to understand the risks of tsunami and what to do in case of a tsunami	Council’s GIS, publications
Soil types	Help people make informed decisions about things that affect soils	Council’s GIS
Coastal hazard zones River flood hazard zones	Help people understand risks and for district council to use to put rules in place to minimise risky development	Council’s GIS, district plans
Hazardous Activities and Industries List	Compilation of activities and industries that have the potential to result in soil contamination	Council’s GIS

 

It would be helpful for staff to have some direction from Māori representative members to guide future mapping processes:

·    Do Māori representative members have a general view on how mapping processes should be undertaken (regardless of what’s been mapped and for what purpose) or is it case-by-case?

·    Is there a difference between mapping for regulatory purposes (e.g. stricter rules for development in a mapped area) vs non-regulatory (e.g. mapping our highly erodible land so we know where to focus our efforts)?

·    Is there a difference between mapping on land vs mapping in the coastal marine area?

·    Are there particular considerations we need to have for mapping on Māori whenua?

TITLE:	Development of a Biodiversity Strategy for Taitokerau
From:	James Griffin, Policy Specialist
Authorised by Group Manager/s:	Jonathan Gibbard, Pou Tiaki Taiao – Group Manager Environmental Services, on 25 November 2021

 

The purpose of this report is to:

·    Outline the purpose of a regional biodiversity strategy

·    Seek Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party (TTMAC) endorsement to work with the Māori Technical Advisory Group (MTAG) to co-design an approach to develop a regional biodiversity strategy for Te Taitokerau, and in particular, how best to engage with tangata whenua throughout its development.

Central government plans to release a National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity (NPS-IB) in early next year. This includes a need for regional councils to prepare a regional biodiversity strategy in collaboration with territorial authorities, tangata whenua, communities and others, such as the Department of Conservation.

Council is required by legislation to undertake a wide range of actions to maintain natural values in the face of nationally declining trends in biodiversity due to pressures, including changes in land, freshwater and sea use, introduced species, exploitation for food and resources, pollution, and the increasing threat of climate change.

The purpose of a regional biodiversity strategy is to promote a landscape-scale restoration and enhancement vision for the region’s indigenous biodiversity including all land, freshwater and the coastal marine area.  Council currently has no overriding strategy that clearly shows what our biodiversity gaols are, methods for achieving goals, and measures that ensure success. 

The Te Mana o Te Taiao/Aotearoa NZ Biodiversity Strategy is a national document which guides local and central government around managing biodiversity. It sets a strategic direction for the protection, restoration and sustainable use of biodiversity. Upholding Treaty principals are an essential part of Te Mana o Te Taiao and partnering with iwi to create a shared vision for the future of Te Taitokerau biodiversity, is an important step.

An initial discussion was held with the Biosecurity and Biodiversity Working Party (B&BWP) on 4 October 2021, seeking support and direction around the development of a Taitokerau Biodiversity Strategy. The B&BWP supported the development of the strategy and agreed that advice should be sought from TTMAC around the process to develop the strategy and, in particular, engagement with tangata whenua.  Staff seek endorsement from TTMAC to engage with MTAG for this purpose.   

 

1.         That the report ‘Involvement of tangata whenua in development of the Biodiversity Strategy’ by James Griffin, Policy Specialist , be received.

2.         That TTMAC endorse staff to engage with MTAG to co-design a process to develop the  Taitokerau  Biodiversity Strategy.

A presentation will be provided to Te Taikoerau Māori and Council Working Party (TTMAC) on some of the activities Northland Regional Council and Northland Inc Limited are undertaking that directly concern the Ngā Whainga|Desired Goals for economic development as set out in the TTMAC Strategic Intent 2021-2040.  Some of the activities to be covered include the following. 

 

·    COVID-19 – impact of alert level restrictions on Northland, including intelligence gathered from Northland Inc’s Business Innovation and Growth (BIG) team.

·    Digital connectivity – update on rollout and engagement being undertaken to improve.

·    Taitokerau Northland Destination Management Plan – steps to implement the Plan launched in September 2021 and available online at https://www.northlandnz.com/northland-inc/regional-initiatives/regional-tourism-organisation/destination-management/.

·    Regional economic development strategy – update on preparations being made. 

·    Statement of Intent of Northland Inc 2022-2025 – process for developing.

 

It would be helpful for staff to have some direction from tāngata whenua members on how they would like to provide direction on economic development related activities of interest. For example, regular reporting from our Economic Development team and Northland Inc, or a subgroup to develop the implementation of Ngā Whainga – Economic Development in TTMAC’s Strategic Intent.

TITLE:	Reports from other working parties and groups
From:	Sally Bowron, Strategy, Governance and Engagement Team Admin/PA
Authorised by Group Manager/s:	Auriole Ruka, Pou Manawhakahaere - GM Governance and Engagement, on 2 December 2021

 

The purpose of this report is to present records of actions from council’s other working party meetings that have occurred since the last Te Taitokerau Māori and Council Working Party (TTMAC) meeting. It is also an opportunity for working party Chairs and TTMAC members on working parties to provide a verbal update and answer any questions that may arise.

 

1.         That the report ‘Reports from other working parties and groups’ by Sally Bowron, Strategy, Governance and Engagement Team Admin/PA and dated 26 November 2021, be received.

Tip for writing good recommendations:

·  Recommendations should identify all decisions that are needed. 

·  If only one recommendation do not number.

·  Write the option out in full, rather than referring to an option in the report.  Set out clear options for councillors to decide between if necessary. 

·  Recommendations must be within the power of the meeting to make the decision. 

·  Avoid redundant or unnecessary statements and acronyms.

·  If a report is proposed, recommend a realistic date and state to which committee the proposed report back is to be made.

·         If it is deemed that there is high risk associated with a decision then include recognition of risk in the resolution.

Māori Technical Advisory Group (MTAG)

(J Beazley, J Chetham, G Connelly, W Sullivan (proxy Alyx Pivac), M Norris, N Rameka, R Tautari)

The Māori Technical Advisory Group have met on 4 November and 25 November 2021. The topics for discussion included:

 

·        Meeting schedule – MTAG agreed to the proposed meeting schedule for 2022 and to schedule an additional two meetings before the end of the year (25 November and 16 December), which make up hui that had been cancelled earlier in the year.

·        Work tools – MTAG agreed to trial using Microsoft Teams as a tool to work more collaboratively and this is being set up.

·        Outstanding Natural Landscapes (ONLs)  – MTAG refined the detail of the proposed approach for engaging with tangata whenua over the ONLs in the coastal marine area mapping and funding, adding a statement that provided a tāngata whenua perspective. This will go to council for their endorsement and then lodged with the Environment Court to decide if they are comfortable with it.

·        Review of the Regional Policy Statement – guidance was given by MTAG on the proposed process, recommending that a similar approach be taken to that used for TTMAC’s Strategic Intent, involving a subgroup of TTMAC. The next step is to take this recommendation to the Planning and Regulatory Working Party for agreement of that process, then to come back to MTAG regarding selection of the consultant.

·        Draft NRC Freshwater Framework – MTAG agreed to review and give their whakaaro on the Draft NRC Freshwater Framework. The aim of the Framework is to explain how we are going to implement the National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management (NPS-FM). I.e. a roadmap of the key steps and timeframes.

·        Sustainability of MTAG’s workload for the remainder of the triennium – to be considered further at a future meeting by MTAG.

·        Coastal occupation charging - the discussion document has been updated in light of MTAG’s advice and the amendments are being considered at the December TTMAC meeting.

·        Treaty Health Check – there is a paper to the December TTMAC meeting recommending that MTAG undertake Step One, to be the key steering group to drive this work and allocate resources of $50,000 to the project. That NRC kaimahi Māori be involved to support the development and that the Health Check be a key focus of MTAG’s December meeting to progress the mahi.

·        Improving engagement with tāngata whenua on the resource consents process – that a paper be taken to TTMAC recommending a project focused on capability building around GIS, starting with gathering data. The project to be assigned to MTAG.
