IWI SUPPORT HAPU/MARAE AUTONOMY AND DECISION MAKING IN WATER TAKE REQUESTS. Iwi support hapu/marae autonomy and decision making in water take requests. The Ngatiwai Trust Board has asked the Mokau Marae to work with Helena Bay Lodge who sought a consent to take up to 60,000 litres of water a day from a local stream which passes through the property, to irrigate the Lodge grounds. The consent application put forward by Helena Bay Lodge was withdrawn in early July so that more studies and monitoring can be done by Mokau Marae. Both parties agree the health of the river is paramount. Ngatiwai Trust Board Chairman Haydn Edmonds says “This is why we are working with our local marae, that are potentially most affected, the Regional Council and the Helena Bay Lodge to find a satisfactory outcome.”..... www.waateanews.com/waateanews/x_story_id/MTY4ODg=/Iwi-support-hapu/marae-autonomy-and-decision-making-in-water-take-requests.
