WANGANUI MAYOR RUBBISHES GROUP'S CALL FOR REFERENDUM ON IWI NEGOTIATIONSWanganui mayor Hamish McDouall has hit back at the Ratepayers' Association's call for a referendum on Treaty negotiations - saying the association does not understand the process. The Office of Treaty Settlements [OTS] and the Wanganui Land Settlement Negotiation Trust are negotiating the iwi's land claim. Iwi are negotiating for ownership by return or purchase of land around the airport, a first right of refusal for harbour and city endowment land, as well as a vesting of Pākaitore, also known as Moutoa Gardens. The trust also wants to discuss co-management with the Wanganui District Council of Pukenamu/Queens Park, Kokohuia Wetlands, Gonville Domain and Horrocks Park Reserve..... www.nzherald.co.nz/wanganui-chronicle/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503426&objectid=12187037
