IWI & TARANAKI COUNCILIwi are consulted closely in resource consenting and planning processes, The Council strongly encourages resource consent applicants to ensure Iwi and/or Hapū are consulted where necessary, and that actual or potential effects on them are clearly spelled out. For the 2015-2016 year, applicants for resource consents made 117 separate consultations with Iwi/Hapū. If appropriate, the Council also considers involving Iwi or Hapū in the design and operation of consent compliance monitoring programmes. Iwi and Hapū have also had input in investigations and prosecutions. Similarly, the Council strives to give Iwi and Hapu opportunities for full and genuine involvement in its own planning processes, Under Treaty of Waitangi settlements currently being legislated for by Parliament, three Iwi representatives would be appointed to each of the Council’s two main standing committees, The appointees would be expected to act in the interests of the Committee they are part of, while bringing an Iwi perspective to the table. The Council and its officers meet regularly with Iwi and Hapū on a range of issues of mutual interest, www.trc.govt.nz/council/working-with-iwi/iwi-and-council/
