Introduction

Find out about the development of the Te Hiku o Te Ika-a-Māui Conservation Management Strategy (CMS).

Public consultation closed

The CMS was open to submissions from the 5 August to 11 October 2024. The submissions received reflect the diverse perspectives of the community and will be used to inform changes to the draft through the next steps.

For more information on the development of the draft CMS, visit the Te Hiku o Te Ika-a-Māui Conservation Management Strategy consultation

Overview

The CMS forms part of a cultural redress package in the Treaty Settlements of four Te Hiku o Te Ika iwi (Te Hiku iwi):

  • Ngāti Kuri
  • Te Aupōuri
  • NgāiTakoto
  • Te Rarawa.

Te Aupōuri, NgāiTakoto and Te Rarawa have contributed to the drafting. Ngāti Kuri have not participated directly, but have contributed in other ways.

The CMS applies to an area defined in Treaty Settlements as the Te Korowai area or Te Hiku region. This area extends from the Hokianga Harbour and mid-point Rangaunu Harbour northwards to Te Rerenga Wairua including Manawatāwhi (Three Kings Islands).

Once the CMS is brought into effect, it will replace the Northland CMS for Te Korowai area.
