More recognition for West Coast tangata whenua
The rights and needs of tangata whenua on the West Coast are set to gain formal and much fuller recognition in the region's new district plan.
Councils and iwi are working on a single planning document - Te Tai o Poutini (One Plan) - to combine and update the district plans for Buller, Grey and Westland councils.
Another RMA option is co-management by the iwi and councils, and the third possibility was a transfer of power to the iwi. That would require each district council to transfer its RMA functions for the land to the relevant hapu entity......

Financial help for small Māori-owned business extended
Financial help for Covid-hit Māori-owned small and medium businesses has been extended until the end of the year.
The $10 million Māori Trustee Top-Up Small Business Cashflow Loan Scheme, established in June, has paid almost $1 million to 120 Māori-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to cover core operating costs and deal with the impact of Covid-19.
Because many Māori SMEs had multiple owners, the failure of those businesses had a disproportionately negative impact on whānau, said Māori Trustee Dr Charlotte Severne......

The danger of losing Māori representation
If the current rate of Māori transferring to the general roll continues, by 2024 there will be fewer Māori on the Māori electoral roll than on the general roll, according to research by Associate Professor Maria Bargh.
“For many years, councils have had a particular demographic of people that dominate them, and their understanding of New Zealand history and what their Treaty commitments might involve is not what a true Treaty partnership is. We saw this attitude in the Wellington City Council when it was suggested tangata whenua needed more voting rights, and a councillor turned his back and looked out the window.”
As part of her involvement in the Biological Heritage National Science Challenge, for which Te Kawa a Māui has received $2.95 million in funding, Associate Professor Bargh is leading research into how governance and policy needs to change for better environmental outcomes, and to support better Treaty partnerships.......

Taking the pulse of Māori business Wakatū Incorporation
She said within te ao Māori, the long-term view was something that would benefit all of New Zealand, and for that reason a major long-term priority was constitutional reform to put the Treaty of Waitangi “at the heart” of New Zealand’s governance.
“We’re looking out 500 years in terms of our planning, so ensuring our constitution is robust and reflects all of our values is key to unlocking out country’s potential,” she said.
