LONG-RUNNING LAND DISPUTE RESOLVED AS PARLIAMENT PASSES WAITARA LANDS BILL
After 30 years of talks and nearly 160 years of disagreement, a law's been passed to resolve the long dispute over leasehold land at Waitara.
It's the third attempt to settle the case for two hapū - Manukōrihi and Ōtaraua.
They'll get $28 million from property sales on Waitara land over the next two decades, plus $28m more to go to projects co-managed by hapū, iwi and the Taranaki Regional Council.
They'll also get 120 hectares of land, mostly in reserves.
Another $34m will be allocated to Waitara River and environmental projects, co-governed by the council, and hapū and iwi with interests in the river.....
