Horopaki
Context
7. Auckland Council and the Tūpuna Maunga Authority must agree the Tūpuna Maunga Plan each year pursuant to section 60 of Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau Collective Redress Act 2014. A summary of the Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan must be included in the annual plan consultation material
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
8. Each year a Tūpuna Maunga Plan is developed to provide a framework in which the council will carry out its functions for the routine management of the tūpuna maunga and administered lands for that financial year. The Tūpuna Maunga Plan must be prepared and adopted concurrently with the council’s annual or long-term plan and must be included in summary form in the annual or long-term plan consultation documentation.
9. The Tūpuna Maunga Authority will meet on 10 February 2020 to adopt the Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan and a summary of the Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan. Content relating to the Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan will be referred to in the consultation document and the summary of the Draft Tūpuna Maunga plan will be included in the Annual Plan 2020/2021 supporting information which will be circulted prior to the meetng. As the draft documents are being considered on 10 February 2020, any amendments will be advised.
10. Two consultation streams will be undertaken during the consultation period. An event for Tūpuna Maunga Authority members to receive spoken feedback on the Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan will be held by the Tūpuna Maunga Authority at a date to be confirmed.
11. For its part the council will receive submissions during the consultation period. The various consultation feedback to the Tūpuna Maunga Authority and the council will be reviewed and reported to a joint workshop of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority and council on 29 April 2020.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
12. The Tūpuna Maunga Integrated Management Plan sets out a number of integral values that set the direction for the care and protection of the Tūpuna Maunga. These include the values of Wairuatanga (spiritual value); Mana Aotūroa (cultural and heritage value); Takotoranga whenua (landscape value) and Mauri Pūnaha Hauropi (ecological and biodiversity value,) which protect these taonga and strengthen their resilience to climate change. The Tūpuna Maunga Operational Plan aligns with these values in the Integrated Management Plan
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
13. The organisations that are part of the council group will have an opportunity to comment on the Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan prior to the final plan being presented for adoption, and any feedback received will be presented to the Maunga Authority and the council for consideration.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
14. The local boards will have an opportunity to provide their views on the Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan during the annual budget process.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
15. The Tūpuna Maunga Authority is a tangible expression of a Treaty of Waitangi-based partnership between Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau and Auckland Council. It is a vehicle through which the mana whenua worldview and historical, cultural and spiritual connections with the maunga will be given visibility and guide decision-making for the health and wellbeing of these important taonga.
16. A feedback event will be held by the Tūpuna Maunga Authority focusing on the Draft Tūpuna
Maunga Plan. This event may be attended by Tūpuna Maunga Authority members including
councillors and local board members on the Tūpuna Maunga Authority.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
17. The Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan budget is provided for in the council’s 10-year Budget 2018-2028.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
18. The final Tūpuna Maunga Plan 2020/2021 is necessary to support the council’s routine management of the tūpuna maunga under the direction of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority. There would be a reputational risk to Māori outcomes and relationships if the council did not approve funding for the Tūpuna Maunga in the Auckland area. This could seriously affect council’s ongoing relationships with mana whenua organisations of Tāmaki Makaurau.
19. If the final Tūpuna Maunga Plan 2020/2021 is approved there is a theoretical reputational risk in relation to any members of the community opposed to Treaty of Waitangi settlements / Co-governance entities involving Māori.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
20. Once the Draft Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority Plan 2020/2021 has been adopted by the Governing Body, a summary of the plan will be included in the consultation package for the 2020/2021 annual budget.
