NGAI TAHU WANT BIGGER SAY IN SOUTHLAND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
In Ngai Tahu's public submission on the proposal in October, it disagreed with being included in the 25 per cent community shareholders.
Instead, it proposed inclusion on equal footing with councils, which would be a more fitting status as a Treaty Partner.
Ngai Tahu also requested representation on the new CCO board.
"I've been talking to our runanga down here, and they quite rightly see this as a partnership with the councils, so I'm just working through that process of making that through a memorandum of understanding or the like," Tong said.
