impact statement

39. On Monday 14
July representatives of western and central local boards attended a hui with
mana whenua leaders to discuss the draft local board plans from a mana whenua

The Maungakiekie-Tamaki Chair attended this hui and undertook discussions with
representatives of Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Ngati Tamatera Trust, Ngati Whatua o
Kaipara, Te Kawerau a Maki and Te Akitai. Issues raised in these discussions
included, in particular, the protection and restoration of the Tamaki Estuary
and Manukau Harbour, including the Onehunga Foreshore project; ecological
restoration – particularly of native vegetation – throughout the ward; The
impact of the East-West Connections and other major roading projects on natural

(Kauri dieback) between different parts of the Auckland region.
