Appendix 2 Statutory Acknowledgements

Statutory Acknowledgements

A statutory acknowledgement provides the Crown’s acknowledgement of the statements by Taranaki Iwi of their particular cultural, spiritual, historical and traditional association with the areas involved.

Statutory acknowledgements may apply to land, rivers, lakes, wetlands, landscape features, or a particular part of the coastal marine area. Where a statutory acknowledgement relates to a river, lake, wetland, or coastal area, the acknowledgement only applies to that part of the bed in Crown Ownership or control.

Purpose of statutory acknowledgements

The purpose of statutory acknowledgements are to:

Require consent authorities, the Environment Court, and Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga to have regard to the statutory acknowledgements.

• Require consent authorities to forward summaries of resource consent applications for activities within, adjacent to or directly affecting the statutory area and a copy of a notice of a resource consent application served on the consent authority under section 145(10) of the Resource Management Act 1991.

• Require relevant consent authorities to record the statutory acknowledgements on statutory planning documents under the Resource Management Act 1991 that relate to the statutory area;

• Enable iwi authorities and members to cite a statutory acknowledgement as evidence of the association of the iwi with the areas to which the statutory acknowledgement relates.

Having regard to Taranaki Iwi Associations within Statutory Areas

Local authorities must attach information recording statutory acknowledgements to all statutory plans that wholly or partly cover the area. The attachment of information to any plan is for the purposes of information only and is not subject to the provisions of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991.

Consent authorities must have regard to a statutory acknowledgement relating to a statutory area in forming an opinion, in accordance with 95 to 95G of Resource Management Act, as to whether the governance entity may be adversely affected by the granting of a resource consent for activities within, adjacent to, or impacting directly on the statutory area.
