MARLBOROUGH IWI FEAR COUNCIL PLAN FAILS TO PROTECT 'POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS' OF SACRED SITES
Potentially "hundreds" of historic Māori sites have been left unprotected in Marlborough's new environment plan, iwi say.
The Proposed Marlborough Environment Plan lists nine significant tangata whenua (local) iwi sites that cannot be demolished, removed or partially destroyed.
But the plan does not include or protect unregistered heritage sites, argue four iwi, who have each launched an appeal against the plan.
The iwi were Rangitāne o Wairau, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Kuia, Te Ātiawa o Te Waka-a-Māui Trust and Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (Ngāi Tahu).....
