Te Tahua Trust Report 2013

Tēnā koutou

Te Tahua Trust was set up as a vehicle to protect the property assets of Rangitāne o Tamaki nui

a Rua. The properties in the name of the Trust are 6 Ward St. Dannevirke’ Copenhagen Sq.

Dannevirke and 1 – 5 McPhee St. by Dannevirke. The 3 properties are rented to Rangitāne o

Tamaki nui a Rua Inc. Society.

The rental for the properties is reviewed annually by the Trust and the Society. The rental is

calculated by adding the budgeted expenses plus a small contingency to allow for unforeseen

costs, this is because the trust does not aim to make a profit.

As a result of the Christchurch earthquake our insurance premiums rose by 250%, but after

negotiation this was reduced to 150%. Local Authorities are required to review all buildings in

their district to see if they meet the new building standards. The Trust engaged an engineer to

inspect the Copenhagen Square building and following his inspection and subsequent report it

was found the building was well below the standard. Staff were advised and the decision was

made to vacate the building, fortunately another building had become available and the staff

have since moved to the former Scanpower and then Resene building in Gordon Street.

The Trust has since engaged a Valuer to do a report for the Trust outlining all the options

available to the Trust for the future of the Trust’s properties. Some examples of our discussions

include, should the building be strengthened or demolished. If it’s demolished what do we replace

it with, should we sell the site and let someone else take the responsibility for the development of

the site. How does the Trust’s other properties fit into the overall future of the Trust and the

Society. What other possibilities are there for the Trust’s properties unfortunately there have

been some delays in getting the report done but we’re hopeful it will be done in the very near

future.

Beneficiaries will be consulted on developments and decisions going into the future.

Tēnā koutou e ngā maire rau nui o Rangitāne. Na koutou te ia o ngā kaupapa kua mahia

kētia i te tau kua pahure ake nei.

Ka tika me huri ki a ratou kua mene ki te po. Moe ake ra i te moenga o te tini ki tua o

Paerau, haere, haere, haere.

Tini whetu ki te rangi ko Rangitāne ki te whenua.

E te iwi ka nui te mihi atu ki a koutou me o tātou tamariki mokopuna e whaia tonu i ngā

taumata e manakohia e koutou hei oranga mo tou whānau. Tera pea te mahi o te tangata

– te oranga o te whānau.

Whakataki: Te Roopu Whakahaere

The Executive Committee is the governing body of the Rangitāne o Tamaki Nui a Rua Inc.

Soc. and is responsible for all the activities of the organisation. The members of the

Executive Committee are Mahalia Paewai, Edward Pearse, Anthony Tipene, Stephen

Paewai, Hinekura Reiri, Lorraine Stephenson and Henare Kani (Chairperson). During the

year Lorraine Stephenson took over the role of chairperson temporarily while I was

overcoming some health challenges.

The Executive Committee have employed Oriana Paewai as Chief Executive and we

acknowledge her work in keeping us moving and especially as we are now entering a new

phase of development with the likelihood of restructuring a probability to ensure Rangitāne

is able to serve our members and our community.

Tuatahi: Te Tari o Rangitāne

Our finances for the year show a loss however, overall we are in a good position with a

good asset base and some cash reserves.

Manawatú River-Kaitoki

/46

The work from our Tari has continued providing many services and the people employed

by Rangitāne have continued to uphold the aspirations of our organisation. A major

highlight was the achievement of a very successful audit of service delivery and

organizational accountability. I would like to thank all the staff inclusive of volunteers for

their commitment to Rangitāne and the people we serve.

Due to earthquake risk we had to relocate our office and this was done quickly and without

too much fuss.

A personal observation was the success of the Whānau ora plans and the Māma and Pēpi

programme at Te Kete Hauora; as well as the initiatives of Te Kāuru in the Cultural &

Political Services. These small examples show a wide range of kaupapa that Rangitāne are

involved in.

The final fisheries allocation was the completion of our responsibility in dispersing the

funds received from fisheries.

Tuarua: Ngã Kokoraho o Te Tiriti o Waitangi

The achievement of the signing of an Agreement In Principal (AIP) was a highlight which

brings us nearer to the completion of our Treaty claims in the coming year; and the

formation of our Rangitāne Tu Mai Ra Trust as the interim Post Settlement Governance

Entity (PSGE) has enabled Rangitāne to be well prepared for the future.

I would like to acknowledge and thank Mavis Mullins and Richard Jones for their astute

negotiation on our behalf on the Rangitāne Settlement Negotiations Trust and their

economic skills on the Rangitāne Tū Mai Ra Trust. It has not been an easy journey but they

have made great achievements and overcome many hurdles along the way, we are well on

the way to completing a Deed of Settlement which will be an indication of their abilities

and recognition of our faith in them to complete the tasks ahead.

We will be meeting regularly with Rangitāne o Wairarapa to work toward a Kotahitanga

approach for our claims.

Tuatoru: Te Hapori

Rangitāne o Tamaki Nui a Rua is involved in our local community and at this time I would

like to take time to mention the Kohanga Reo, Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tamaki Nui a Rua.

Many of the Kohanga Reo mokopuna move on to Kura Kaupapa and then Wharekura. I

acknowledge the outstanding contribution of these roopu especially the Kura Kaupapa who

help their tamariki gain outstanding results.

A mention too of the role that the Aotea Sports Club has in our community in providing

healthy activities for our whānau and much needed social and sporting interaction.

Tuawhã: Iwi

We have maintained our presence at the Iwi Leaders Forum and feel that it has some

continuing benefit for Rangitāne keeping us abreast of national Māori events and issues.

We maintained our trip to Turangawaewae for the Koroneihana in August and to Parihaka

for the Ra in November.

Whakarapopoto

We have had a good year overall and there are many challenges ahead of us and our

foundation kaupapa, tikanga and values will enable us to meet our challenges and find

ways to enhance the mana of our marae and our people. The future will depend on the

actions we take today and our contribution will be required as individuals and as a

collective – if we uphold our kaupapa, tikanga and values we will be united and the fruit of

our efforts will be bountiful.

I conclude my report with the following whakatauki “E te iwi, whakaturia o tātou peke ki te

wāhi e kore e taea e te ngāngara rāua ko te huhu katahi ka tu ake te whare o Rangitāne”1

Ma te Atua tātou e arahi e manaaki i te ao i te pō – Ka tau!

/46

Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou te whanau e huihui mai nei i runga i te kaupapa nei ko te Hui a

Tau o ta koutou rūnanga.

As in previous years, this report is presented under the three strategies described in our

Strategic Plan.

1. Eke Tangaroa Eke Panuku, Te Poutama

(Striving for Excellence, Being Successful)

a. Excellence and success are often defined by an individual’s worldview. With that in

mind, I mihi to all those who whakapapa to Rangitāne for their achievements over the past

year. There are some that we know about as hapū and iwi but there are many more that

go unnoticed and unacknowledged as whanau go about the business of living their lives.

b. The Executive Committee began a review of the Iwi’s strategic plan at the Hui a Iwi held

26 April 2014. A number of themes were identified as being important to our progress.

These included identity, leadership, growth and prosperity, housing, Ma Mo Rangitāne,

health, environmental responsibility, financial security, education and inclusiveness. The

updated Strategic Plan will be available in the new year. Our “Strategic Approach”

publication will be distributed at the same time.

b. The building at Copenhagen Square was vacated in mid-November as a result of an

assessment against the NBS (New Building Standards) which has a minimum standard of

33% compliance with 5 years to raise the building to 66% compliance. Our building was

assessed at 14.5% compliant. The now vacant site offers an opportunity for Rangitāne to

consider a number of options that will build on our successes to date and be another

physical reminder of our ongoing quest for excellence. These options include opportunities

to raise our profile, co-locate with other services and long term economic development.

c. Te Kete Hauora underwent a TAS (Technical Advisory Service) Audit in February, 2014.

TAS is contracted by the six central region DHBs i.e. MidCentral, Hawkes Bay, Whanganui,

Capital and Coast, Wairarapa, Hutt Valley, to provide a range of services, one of which is

audit of contracted service providers. We were assessed against three standards:-

Contract Compliance, Health and Disability Service Standards, Leading Practice. We

achieved 95%, 100% and 97% respectively. This is a vast improvement on the 2010 TAS

audit.

d. I was sponsored by CentralPHO to attend a 14-day Health Masterclass that saw fifteen

health professionals from MidCentral DHB visit a wide variety of health organisations in

Canada, Scotland, and England. The tour concluded with a 5-day International Quality

Health Conference in France. The highlight of the Conference was the reference to the

Whanau Ora policy by Professor Don Berwick, an international leader in health. He

/46

described the Whanau Ora policy as the only example in the world of health in its truest

sense encapsulated in government legislation. In terms of indigenous health progress and

innovation, Māori are world leaders.

e. The implementation of our Mātauranga Strategy has not progressed since our previous

AGM despite our efforts to gain traction via our regional MoE liaison team.

Notwithstanding this lack of progress, we have developed five projects that sit under the

strategy. These will get underway in the 2014-2015 year.

2. Mana Tikanga, Mana Korero, Mana Hau-kainga Rangitãnetanga

Cultural Identity

a. The Cultural and Political Services report speaks to this Strategy. Our Executive

Committee member, Anthony Tipene, has suggested that we change the name of this

service to better reflect its’ purpose and function.

b. Certainly, the signing of the AIP (Agreement in Principle) was both a highlight and a

milestone in our, to date, 25 year long journey to Treaty of Waitangi settlement. The

Rūnanga is looking forward to developing and growing a working relationship with both

Rangitāne o Wairarapa and the RSNT (Rangitane Settlement Negotiations Trust).

c. The settlement process brought into focus the relationship between Rangitāne and the

Tararua District Council and as a consequence the value of the Memorandum of

Partnership.

c. We are fortunate that Anthony Tipene, Executive Committee member, has made himself

available to attend the Iwi Chairs Forum hui. His report is included further on in this

document.

d. As a member of Manawhenua Hauora, Iwi relationship board, MidCentral DHB, our Chair

Henare Kani is an advocate for hauora Māori at the governance level. I am a member of

the Community Public Health Advisory Committee and Stephen Paewai is a member of the

Hospital Advisory Committee, two of three committees that inform the DHB decision

making. While our brief is to represent Māori across the DHB rohe, it is another

opportunity to represent Rangitāne at a regional level.

e. Te Kāuru continues to represent the interests of those hapū that are kaitiaki of te awa

o Manawatū and its’ tributaries from Parahaki to the source. The relationship between the

rūnanga as the support mechanism for Te Kāuru and Te Kāuru itself will be formalised in

the coming year via a Memorandum of Understanding.

The advent of the Manawatū River Leaders Forum has had a positive spin off for iwi and

hapū that live along the length of the awa. Traditional relationships based on the awa

have been rekindled from the source to the sea.

3. Te Hihiri me te Hauora, Te Waiora

Rangitāne Vitality and Wellbeing

a. The delivery of health and social services continues to be the main source of income for

the rūnanga. We acknowledge that this leads to a narrow definition of the term wellbeing

and we have challenged ourselves to look beyond the confines of our contractual

obligations and assess our progress against the six outcome domains described in the

Whanau Ora Taskforce Report. Hauora encompasses the notion of physical, emotional,

environmental and whanau wellbeing. In an attempt to measure our progress in achieving

hauora we have adopted Results Based Accountability (RBA). To put it simply – How much

did we do? How well did we do it? Was anyone better off because of it? We are at the

/46

beginning of this journey and look forward to reporting positive gains in the next annual

report.

b. We welcome feedback that helps us define “Rangitane Vitality and Wellbeing”. The

strategic planning exercise early in the year gave a snapshot and we want to build on that.

c. Working collaboratively has been a major theme over the last year and will continue

into the future. Te Kāuru, Te Tihi o Ruahine Whanau Ora Alliance, Te Ohu Auahi Mutunga,

RSNT/RTMRT (Rangitane Tu Mai Ra Trust) are all examples of collaboration for the greater

good.

4. Other

a. As at the end of June, 2013 we employed 40 kaimahi with a number of others providing

voluntary input.

b. There were over 12,500 contacts made with health and social service clients over the

2013/2014 year and 589 registered clients during the same period. This does not include

whanau who participated in any of our Toiora Maori activity.

c. Our kaimahi continue to undertake workforce development throughout the year. While

the organisation provides support, it is the kaimahi who have to put in the effort and hours

to achieve and they must be commended for the successes achieved.

d. Kaimahi continue to work to the best of their ability in our community. This will be

further supported with the appointment of a .5FTE (20 hours per week) Service Delivery

Manager in October. This person will replace Kaylene Kani who left in April of this year.

e. I wish to make special mention of the Beveridge whanau. Without their consent and

cooperation we would not be in this building. The close proximity to the 91 High St

building made the move much easier and it was by far the best accommodation option.

He mihi mahana ki a ratou.

5. Ngã Mihi

Thank you to all those that shared their knowledge, expertise and time to whakamana the

whanau and hapū of Rangitāne. Without our appreciation of the gifts each individual

brings to the kaupapa and our collective efforts we would not be where we are today. I

look forward to your continued support of our hikoi towards our shared vision and am

grateful for the opportunity to participate in such an exciting journey

narratives, providing information and support with tertiary assignments and advice on who

to contact for carving, weaving and rongoa Māori and general queries relating to tikanga

Māori.

Restoration of Carving-Raekapua Pã

With the support of Morepork Mountain Trust the carving from Raekapua Pā site area has

undergone restoration over the past three years which was carried out by Detlef Klein of

the Manawatū Museum Services. Detlef also prepared a report outlining the restorative

work, the carving styles including history of these styles and research which identifies

what this carving may have been at the Raekapua Pā.

The carving returned to Tamaki nui a Rua on the 25th June with a celebration held at

Mākirikiri Marae. This was well attended by those anticipating the carvings return and

they were well rewarded with a beautifully restored carving and stories from those who

have been involved in the journey of this carving from when it was found to today. The

carving is at the Mākirikiri Marae and will remain there.

Report to Rúnanga AGM - November 2014

This report is prepared for the Annual General Meetings for Rangitāne o Wairarapa

Incorporated (“ROW”) and Rangitāne o Tamaki Nui-ā-Rua Incorporated (“ROTNAR”) held

on Saturday 29 November 2014 and Friday 28 November 2014 respectively.

It provides an update on general Trust progress with settlement negotiations this year.

This report is provided ahead of the more detailed report to be provided at the Rangitāne

Settlement Negotiations Trust (“RSNT”) AGM held on Saturday 6 December 2014 at the

Pukaha Mount Bruce Visitors Centre. The same report is provided for both Rangitāne o

Wairarapa and Rangitāne o Tamaki Nui-ā-Rua.

Overview of Negotiations in 2014

At the time of the 2013 Rūnanga AGMs, RSNT was aiming to sign an Agreement in

Principle (“AIP”) with the Crown prior to Christmas 2013. A pre-Christmas AIP was not able

to be achieved for reasons outside of RSNT’s control. The AIP was then signed in March

2014 and since that time, negotiations have continued with the Crown towards a Deed of

Settlement (“DOS”). The AIP was based on the outline of redress provided at the RSNT

AGM on 23 November 2013 and at the further hui-ā-iwi on 15 March 2014. Following the

signing of the AIP, a hui-ā-iwi was held in May 2014 to further update the iwi and provide

opportunity for questions and feedback.

A copy of the AIP is available from the Office of Treaty Settlements (“OTS”) website and

also the RSNT website.

The negotiations towards DOS have been steady after an initial phase of re-organisation

and planning, following the signing of the AIP. Of course, negotiations have also been

affected to some degree by the general elections in September 2014. The negotiations

since AIP have focussed on areas of redress which are not dealt with comprehensively

within the AIP. These include:

allocation of the Ngāumu Forest and valuation of the Rangitāne portion;

discussions around river redress within both the ROW and ROTNAR regions; and

discussions around the properties held by the Tararua District Council.

Further discussions are still to be had regarding issues of claimant definition and the

historical account, a draft of which is currently being prepared by the Crown for discussion.

Of course, in the coming months, more detail will need to be worked through in terms of

the draft DOS and the draft legislation. Further details will also need to be discussed

around technical aspects of the redress included in the AIP. An important workstream for

/46

RSNT in the coming months will be joint discussions with the Ngāti Kahungunu ki

Wairarapa Tamaki Nui-ā-Rua Trust (“NKKWTNAR”) on areas of shared redress so that those

aspects of the Rangitāne DOS can be negotiated and filled in.

The current Crown timeframe towards DOS is initialling in July 2015 with iwi ratification

occurring after that.

Communications

Communications remain a priority for RSNT. RSNT will continue engagement with

the iwi through to Deed of Settlement, together with specific engagement with the

Rūnanga and with claimants wherever appropriate.

RSNT provides updates on negotiations progress and other matters via its

quarterly newsletter distributed to all those on the beneficiary rolls for the two

Rūnanga. The newsletters and other up to date information is also available on the

website and RSNT Facebook page, together with the updates provided at hui-ā-iwi

where appropriate.

Over the coming months, RSNT would also like to increase communications in

conjunction with RTMR - not just in terms of the settlement negotiations but on a

wider range of matters relevant to the iwi. RSNT does, of course, remain open to

any feedback and comments provided by iwi members and/or claimants which will

be factored into discussions regarding progress to DOS and RSNT’s actions going

forward.

RSNT will also continue discussions with overlapping claimant groups, not just

NKKWTNAR, but others to the north and also along the western boundaries.

Post Settlement Governance

At the time of the 2013 AGMs, RSNT was in the process of ratifying RTMR as the

PSGE for ROW and ROTNAR. The voting process was very successful with 782

votes cast, 97% being in favour of the establishment of the PSGE. Those results

were subsequently ratified by the Minister and RTMR was formally established in

March 2014. We note that some minor corrections were required to the Trust

Deed to correct some errors that did not reflect the intentions presented by RSNT

at the ratification hui and as detailed in the ratification booklet. Those minor

corrections were approved by the Crown prior to the establishment of the Trust.

You will recall that initial trustees were put in place (the same trustees as for

RSNT) during the initial phase to signing of the DOS (or no more than two years

following their establishment, i.e. March 2016). The initial trustees are the same

five trustees of RSNT. The first set of trustee elections is currently set to take

place at the same time as ratification of the DOS around August/September 2015.

Over the past six months, the focus for RTMR has been cultural revitalisation as

envisaged by the on account payment of $6.5 million received in May 2014.

Genesis Energy shares of $4.0625 million were also purchased as part of the

Government Share Offer programme. These are also held by RTMR. Those

amounts are deducted from the overall quantum to be received by RTMR under

the Deed of Settlement. Along with cultural and commercial properties included in

/46

the settlement, those assets will be managed by the RTMR going forward, in its

role as PSGE.

Upcoming Trust AGMs

Again, we note that the AGMs for RSNT and RTMR will be held on Saturday 6

December 2014 starting from 10am through to 2pm at the Pukaha Mount Bruce

Visitors Centre, SH2. See the attached pānui setting out the agendas for those

two hui. A more detailed update on the points included in this written update will

be provided at those two hui and we look forward to seeing as many iwi members

as possible there and receiving your feedback and discussion.

Rangitãne Settlement Negotiations Trust

Kiwi at Pukaha Mt Bruce Wildlife Centre

/46

The past year has been extremely busy for Rangitāne North Island fisheries with several

projects and developments being initiated and further advanced.

Project Tuna

At the beginning of the reporting year, we finalised and signed our contracts with MPI for

the most important one of our projects, the three-year Sustainable Farming Fund project

“Tuna (Eel) Aquaculture – Overcoming the Hurdles”, now commonly referred to as “Project

Tuna”. Te Ohu Tiaki o Te Ika a Maui Trust (MIO) have been granted $600,000 over three

years, which will support the required science work provided by NIWA and Tisbe Ltd

around sustainable access to shortfin glass eel stocks, separation of long- and shortfin

elvers and culture of shortfin eels to market size.

The first year of our project has been very

successful in all aspects. A fundamental part of this

project involves glass eel fishing to assess timing of

glass eel runs, quantities of glass eels migrating up

our streams and the impact of glass eel harvest on

wild eel populations as well as develop glass eel

fishing capability and capacity that is not currently

available in New Zealand. For this purpose, a total

of eight fishermen and our two fishing supervisors

(Paul Horton and Joseph Potangaroa) were trained

by NIWA scientists during a workshop held in

August at Pukepuke Lodge. We monitored glass eel recruitment in

fourRangitānewaterways (Pukepuke, Kaikōkopu, Castlepoint and Whakataki) between

beginning of September (when our MPI Special Permit was approved) and end of

November 2013. Our fishing operations showed that there are in fact abundant quantities

of glass eels migrating up the streams in our

rohe and that we can successfully catch them.

Our two fishing supervisors have not only being

supervising the fishermen and coordinating the

fishing operations but were also in charge of

reporting, uploading data and photos, and

providing thorough updates. Based on their input

we generated frequent, well-received reports to

MPI as required by our special permit conditions.

Furthermore, they dealt with noted interest from

the public, including local Police, Horizons staff

and local fishermen on site and any negativity or

lack of understanding for the glass eel fishing

operations was met by detailed explanations and

the permit.

/46

In total around 10,400 of the caught glass eels were

transferred to our holding facility at Oringi Business Park

in late November and early December 2013 to carry out

survival/growth in culture trials. Standard Growth Rates

of eels were better than published growth rates for

shortfin glass eel but similar to those seen for European

glass eels. Eel mortality was slightly high but in line with

published observations and we are confident that we will

be able to reduce this to around 30% in the next two

project years. However, compared to an estimated 99.68% finite mortality rate for glass

eels in the wild, culture of eels within a land-based

system appears to offer significant advantages in

terms of survival. Overall the constructed

recirculating aquaculture system performed well

during the trial; water quality parameters were

better than those recommended for eel farming and

largely stayed within the target ranges. Minor

issues arising with the holding unit will be addressed

before the start of Year 2 trials.

In January 2014 Te Ohu Tiaki o Rangitāne Te Ika a

Maui Trust, NIWA and Aotearoa Fisheries Ltd presented the Year 1 results of the “Tuna

Aquaculture – Overcoming the Hurdles” project to key stakeholders including the Te

Taihauāuru Fisheries Forum, Ministry for Primary Industries representatives, Te Ohu

Kaimoana, Te Wai Māori and Te Puni Kōkiri. The project was showcased at the Ōringi

Business Park where the glass eel on-growing facility has been successfully operating.

A small quantity of glass eels was sent to NIWA Hamilton

for longfin/shortin eel separation trials so we are just left

with the shortfins for culture and are able to repatriate the

longfins. For this purpose, key bile acids of both species

were analysed in subsequently used in choice chamber

flume trials. These have shown that waters with low

concentrations of both shortfin and longfin adult eel odours

attracted shortfin glass eels while glass eels seemed to

avoid water with high concentrations of longfin adult

odour. The glass eels supplied for these trails were predominantly shortfins from

Castlepoint, and therefore we will need to repeat this approach in Year 2 with larger

proportion of longfins. This will be helped by an earlier start date of our Year 2 fishing and

our preliminary observations that longfin glass eels seem to be migrating upstream earlier

in the season compared to shortfins.

In March, Paul Horton together with NIWA

scientists carried out electrofishing in our selected

streams for the purpose of elver monitoring. The

results will be analysed in the context of our glass

eel fishing data over the next three years to

determine the natural mortality of eels from glass

eel to elver stage as well as to assess the impact

of our fishing operations on elver recruitment

numbers. Unfortunately, due to extremely low

water levels and excessive macrophyte growth in

/46

the West coast streams the depletion electric fishing method

could not be used in Year 1 to estimate elver densities at

these sites. In Year 2, we are considering elver trapping as

an alternative technique (depending on further funding being

approved) as well as an earlier or later date for our West

coast surveys.

During the 2013 recruitment season we caught an estimated

total of 17,700 glass eels over a period of 132 fishing days.

The majority of the total catch was derived from Castlepoint

Stream (72%) with only relatively low numbers being caught

at Whakataki (<500) and Pukepuke (<1,000). While

longfins were more commonly encountered during the first

month of fishing (early September to early October), the

proportion steadily decreased over the fishing period.

Shortfins were the dominant (93%) species present

at all of the sites fished with the highest proportion

of longfin glass eels observed at Whakataki.

As part of our strategic networking, Maurice and

Anke visited the Chatham Islands middle of May

together with Terry Gittings from AFL. We met with

the CEO of the Chatham Islands Enterprise Trust

Brian Harris as well as representatives of local iwi

and Moriori to introduce our project and explore the

opportunity for future collaborations on the subject

of glass eel research and supply. Our year 1

results were perceived as an important step towards establishing eel aquaculture and

enhancing wild eel stocks and have generated a

great deal of interest in further collaboration. We

are looking forward to advancing this relationship in

the next year, starting with a follow-up meeting at

Oringi Business Park between interested parties

from the Chatham Islands, AFL officials (including

their CEO), Project Tuna management

representatives and MIO trustees and AHC

directors.

In June, Te Wai Māori and TOKM organised a

National Māori Tuna Symposium in Hopuhopu and

since our project has attracted an enormous amount of interest nationwide, we were

invited key speakers to share our project results with a wider audience. A day of

presentations was followed by an interesting field trip to the Rahui Pokeka Eel

Enhancement Project near Huntly, Lake Waikare Eel, kokopu and pest fish monitoring and

the Te Kauwhata Eel factory. In addition to the presenters Anke and Maurice, our SFF

project team including Paul Horton, NIWA, Tisbe and AFL representatives as well as MIO

trustees and AHC directors were present. The symposium was well-attended with more

than 160 iwi and industry representatives as well as representatives from government

organisations. Our presentation was very successful and aroused a lot of interest and

debate with regards to eel aquaculture and wild eel environmental enhancement. We are

confident that more intense networking and collaborations with other iwi and interested

parties will follow in response to the symposium.

/46

Parallel to our SFF project, which will establish the

required scientific background for developing eel

aquaculture in New Zealand, we are intending to

carry out further work towards commercialisation,

including experimental fishing of our big rivers to

demonstrate availability of substantial quantities of

glass eels to provide consistent annual supplies for a

future farm, liaison with other iwi, government

agencies and eel industries and economic modelling

and market research. As a first step to carry out the

big river fishing, we have put together a funding

proposal and budget in collaboration with John

Jameson from AFL. In addition to seeking funding,

we are working on an application to MPI for an

amendment of our special permit to catch glass

eels.

FMA 8 and FMA 2 activities

The Te Tai Hauāuru Forum Fisheries Forum, which

consists of 14 iwi representatives including

Rangitāne o Manawatu, has met frequently in the

past year to discuss matters affecting the fisheries

along the West coast of the lower North Island. Rangitāne North Island were present at

each of the well-attended Forum hui and furthermore hosted the Forum at Te Hotu

Manawa marae on 5th March 2014. Apart from general fisheries related matters, some of

the main topics were the sand mining proposal by Trans Tasman Resources Ltd (TTR) and

the surf clam investment proposal brought forward by Cloudy Bay Clams. The latter

proposal was studied and presented to the Forum by Te Ohu Kaimoana officials and

several iwi have since expressed their interest to invest. In May 2014, selected interested

iwi representatives were invited to visit the harvest and processing operations of Cloudy

Bay Clams in Blenheim, including Rangitāne North Island. This proved most enlightening

and will assist the decision making process.

Since the application by TTR to mine iron sands primarily off the coast of Taranaki would

also have an impact on other iwi in FMA8, TTR were obliged to carry out a consultation

process with all relevant iwi, including Rangitāne. Our involvement in the consultation

process contributed to the completion of our Te Puni Kōkiri-funded scoping study, designed

to identify economic opportunities for iwi arising from the

project. As the mining proposal progressed and TTR were

granted a permit subject to obtaining consent of the

Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), a lot of

unanswered questions primarily regarding sustainability

and environmental impacts arose from iwi in FMA8. Te Ao

Turoa, primarily Dr. Jonathan Procter, and Maurice

Takarangi as representative of Rangitāne fisheries were

subsequently nominated by the Forum to carry out

consultation with iwi along the West Coast and to provide a

cultural impact assessment report. The Consultancy

Agreement for the Sand Mining Study was signed off by

TMI, Te Tai Hauāuru and TTR in November 2013. In

addition to working on the report, Jonathan also presented

/46

a submission relating to the sand mining proposal on behalf of Te Tai Hauāuru to the EPA,

who assessed environmental protection, cultural and community concerns. Due to a

number of reasons mainly focused on the uncertainty of environmental damage that could

occur if the project was approved, the EPA declined TTR’s application. While TTR are

considering an appeal, work has ceased on the environmental and cultural report that was

being headed up by Dr. Jonathan Procter on behalf of the Te Tai Hauāuru Fisheries Forum.

While the iwi north of Rangitāne o Manawatu’s rohe have signed a permanent coastal

agreement, the FMA8 coastline south of the Rangitikei is still in dispute. Several meetings

were held with Raukawa to come to a permanent

mutually agreeable outcome. However, despite

our best efforts, it is apparent that the discussions

with Raukawa have come to a stand-off. The

recent offer made to us through the facilitator Ken

Mair is unacceptable and unless there is some

other alternative, we may be forced to consider

litigation at a considerable cost to both parties with

no certainty of satisfactory results.

Although there is a permanent coastal agreement

in place between Rangitāne North Island and Ngāti

Kahungunu for the East coast fisheries, the establishment of an FMA2 Fisheries Forum is

still being held up by disagreements between Kahungunu and MPI. Our own relationship

with Kahungunu continues to be very positive and we have been offered full support for

Project Tuna. We agreed to hold meetings on a regular basis to discuss fisheries-related

matters, including ongoing discussions around the re-allocation of the boundaries relating

to PAU2.

Freshwater fisheries developments

To assist us with the GIS work undertaken for our

ongoing Te Wai Freshwater Fisheries Project, Anke

Zernack attended the 2013 Māori GIS Conference -

PLACE 2013

(People, Landscape, Assets, Communication and

Education) at Skycity Convention Centre in

Auckland as well as the first-ever Google Earth

Outreach Māori Mapping Workshop, held prior to

the Māori GIS Conference. The conference

provided valuable opportunities to listen and learn

how spatial information has provided benefits to Māori communities and included

renowned keynote speakers such as Sir Tumu te Heuheu, Distinguished Companion of the

New Zealand Order of Merit and Paramount Chief of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. The hands-on,

technical workshop supplied knowledge and resources for Māori community members

involved in mapping cultural and natural aspects of their indigenous communities and

introduced highly practical tools, which Māori can use to visualise their cause and tell their

story in Google Earth & Maps.

On another freshwater fisheries matter, we are enthused that Paul was awarded

substantial funding from MBIE (Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment) for a

project in collaboration with NIWA - “Collaborative Capacity Building for Tangata Tiaki and

Rangitāne Freshwater Fisheries”. This funding will support both, his environmental work

/46

for Te Ao Turoa as well as enable further detailed freshwater studies that are

complementary to our SFF eel project and will add supplementary valuable information.

Our relationship with Aotearoa Fisheries Ltd

Our recently expired multi-year ACE lease

agreement with Aotearoa Fisheries Ltd (AFL) is

currently in the process of being renewed. We are

looking forward to continuing our excellent

relationship with AFL and their CEO Carl Carrington,

not only with regards to the lease of our ACE but

also as partners for Project Tuna. Based on our

excellent relationship with AFL, we were offered the

same good prices for our ACE rounds as last year.

Another positive aspect of our relationship with AFL

is the provision of Pataka Kai. Rangitāne o Manawatu have used 450 Kgs of frozen fish

fillets during the past year, mainly for tangihanga. Due to a new pataka policy, we are

obliged to apply for sponsorship for events other than tangihanga, however this has posed

no problem and all of our applications were approved. Unfortunately, since Sealord who

are half owned by AFL suffered significant losses primarily in Argentina but not exclusively,

no dividend was paid to iwi shareholders for the last financial year. These losses were

explained to shareholders during an Iwi Roadshow, which also served to advice on positive

new initiatives by Sealord and AFL for the future.

To conclude, both the MIO trustees and AHC directors of Rangitāne(North Island) expect

another steady year for the commercial fisheries and are looking forward to further

advancing ongoing projects and developments as well as exploring new initiatives, in

particular related to petrochemical exploration in both FMA8 and FMA2.

The members of Manawhenua Hauora are: Kahungunu, Muaupoko, Ngāti Raukawa and

Rangitāne

2. Manawhenua Hauora Priorities & Focus Areas 2014/20152

Manawhenua Hauora monitored progress reports against the 2013/2014 Annual Plan,

Māori Health Plan, and Regional Service Plan, and also hosted the Māori Leadership

Moving Forward Wānanga on the 19th of November 2013. Members reviewed the

Ministers Letter of Expectations received in February 2014, and acknowledge the

following priorities at a National, Regional and Local level.

2.1 National Priorities 2014/2015

Review of the Ministers Letter of Expectations for 2014/2015 outlined the national

priorities as listed

below:

Increase Immunisation rates;

Reduce incidence of Rheumatic Fever;

Assist to reduce the number of assaults of children;

Shorter stays in Emergency Departments;

Improved access to elective surgery;

Shorter waits for cancer treatments/transitioning to Faster Cancer Treatment;

Increased immunisation;

Better help for smokers to quit; and

More heart and diabetes checks.

Manawhenua Hauora supported the actions set out for the next three years to

advance all national health targets and Government priority areas. To advance

these areas Manawhenua Hauora will continue working collaboratively with MDHB

to monitor reporting against the Annual Plan 2014/2015 and Māori Health Plan

2014/2015.

2.2 Regional Priorities 2014/2015

In May 2014 the Central Region Combined District Health Board’s Forum met and

established Regional priority areas for Māori Health as follows:

Use of National Māori health indicator report to drive improvements in the health

outcomes of Māori in our region;

Develop the Māori workforce in health; and

Consider cultural competency within the sector.

Manawhenua Hauora (MWH) will monitor those priorities as part of the MDHB and MWH

Work Programme 2014/2015.

2.3 Local Priorities 2013/2014\

2.3.1 Mãori Health Leadership

Following the Māori Leadership review report in 2013, Manawhenua Hauora supported

the establishment of a GM/Director Māori Health reporting directly to MCDHB Chief

2 Manawhenua Hauora ANNUAL REPORT 2014 excerpts from 2 – 2.4

/46

Executive as a positive step to strengthening Māori Health Leadership within our

District that will ultimately contribute to improved health outcomes for the Māori

Population.

It was our recommendation that an additional section for Māori Health Leadership is

included in the Annual Plan such as: "Strengthening of Māori Health Leadership within

the DHB to contribute to improved health outcomes for the Māori Population"

Manawhenua Hauora supported the establishment of a Māori Alliance Leadership team

(MALT) that will provide improved integration between primary and secondary sectors,

and support outcomes for Māori workforce development.

2.3.2 Health of Older Persons

Manawhenua Hauora supported the enhancement and establishment of community

support services and Programmes that contribute to increased independence of elderly

persons, and suggest the inclusion of an initiative within this section of the Annual

Plan, such as “Support Services and Programmes that contribute to increased

independence of elderly persons”. Members supported the feasibility study to review

the Re-design of older persons systems.

2.3.3 Womens Health (Maternal Health)

Manawhenua Hauora supported quality improvement activities for Maternal Health

Services, and the proposal to develop a Primary Birthing Facility (Palmerston North)

Business Case.

2.3.4 Mental Health and Addictions (Youth Mental Health)

Members supported the need to strengthen a district-wide suicide prevention

approach, and child and youth mental health services, to address the disturbing

number of youth suicides within our region.

Also "Supported increased health promotion initiatives to contribute to greater

prevention and reduced hospitalisation".

2.3.5 Local Priorities – Results 2013/2014

Manawhenua Hauora note good progress and results against the actions and

performance measures that were outlined in the 2013/2014 Annual Plan and Māori

Health Plan. Some highlights:

Target immunisation coverage rates for children are being consistently achieved;

More Māori are enrolled with Central PHO;

Increasing numbers of Māori are being given brief advice and help to quit smoking

as well has having their risk assessed for cardiovascular disease; Manawhenua

Hauora ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Lower than national rates for Māori being admitted to hospital for ambulatory

sensitive conditions;

Improved rates for Māori women participating in the cervical screening programme

but still lag behind all other population groups;

There were no hospitalisations for acute rheumatic fever in the 2013/1 4 year;

Enrolments of 0-4 years of Māori children in the Child and Adolescent Oral Health

Services increased significantly –exceeding target. Examinations according planned

recall period for pre-school and primary school children also achieved target.

Governance arrangements for Whanau Ora changed over the year. A move towards

a “Commissioning for results’ model has been initiated. Three NGO commissioning

agencies have been established. MidCentral continues to meet with Te Hono ki

/46

Taraura me Ruahine, and Te Tihi o Ruahine Whanau Ora Alliance. Various Whānau

Ora Policy Framework are being researched. The DHB are looking to adopt a

framework that will best support the Collective/Alliance Programme of Action.

2.4 MWH Local Priorities Identified For 2014/2015

Targets not achieved in the Māori Health Plan 2013/2014 include:

The number of Māori having cardiovascular risk assessments increased and steady

improvements were made each quarter, but the gap in rates between Māori and

non-Māori was still evident.

Breast Screening (2 year coverage) rate for Māori women (aged 50-69) continues

to lag behind all others;

Data shows above 90% of women are offered advice to quit smoking, considerably

fewer accept cessation support. In Quarter 4 only 25% of Māori women (64 seen by

LMCs) accepted cessation support;

Adolescents utilising DHB funded Oral health services targets were achieved. However,

there has been a reduction in Māori children who are caries free compared to 2012

data (some data collections issues were acknowledged).

Four additional key priority areas Manawhenua Hauora have been identified and

included in the Work Programme for 2014/2015 includes:

Smoking cessation;

Oral health;

Women's health; and

Whānau Ora.

Rangitāne o Tamaki Nui a Rua have a significant role in the health sector of the

MidCentral DHB region.

I wish to continue as the representative for Rangitāne o Tamaki Nui a Rua for the next

year.

Mauri ora!

Tēnā Koutou Katoa,

The trustees have not met to discuss the situation at Copenhagen Square but will do so

next week.

I would like to hear the views of the executive so they can be part of the trustees’

discussions.

As you are aware an Engineers report was commissioned and a preliminary inspection

showed it fell well short of the building standards and so a decision was made to relocate

staff. A decision needs to be made on the future of the building and some of the options

are;-

Strengthen the building

A costly exercise and we still have the same building which is inefficient in terms of space

and heating.

Sell the building

The building has minimal value and the cost of demolition would be a factor in the sale

price.

Demolish and rebuild

The first decision if we were to follow this path would be; ‘do we do it’ or ‘does someone

else do it’ or ‘do we do it jointly with someone else’? Then what do we build? A purpose

building for Rangitāne, a commercial building (e.g. shops) or a community building, this

would have several tenants with perhaps a shared administration.

Cost would certainly be a determinant. If the Trust were to undertake a building project we

would need to borrow a large amount of money.

The location and size of the section makes it a very attractive site situated in a prominent

position in Dannevirke.

A discussion on the future of Rangitāne, what that may look like and its short term needs.

This may give some guidance of the directions the trustees take.

Kia ora Ngā Ika a Whiro a Rangitāne,

The Iwi Chairs Forum have met four times over the past year:

Waikato-8 August 2013

Gisborne 28 November 2013

Waitangi 4 February 2014

Maniapoto 29 May 2014

At the Iwi Leaders Forum in Gisborne I raised our hand as Rangitāne ki Tamaki nui a Rua

to participate with the DOC Iwi’s leaders Group (ILG) to address issues with DOC.

It was noted that this group does not represent iwi or is mandated by iwi but advocates as

a collective.

Session One:

There was a diverse range of experiences with DOC and iwi expressed by those present.

• Not forthcoming GIS Maps, disclosing where the DOC estates are, iwi seen as

greatest threat, no access to cultural harvest including traditional materials, no

transparency around policy with regards to wāhi tapu, where on their estates,

selective consultation. Mark Solomon noted that he had never met with the

Kaihautu Māori (DOC) no relationship with Māori arm of organisation, Co-

management only on paper not in decision making …what is the whanau/iwi role.

Given small tiny estates back to iwi eg top of maunga, Public access issues, Pa sites

sold at market rates from DOC estates, Marine reserve culling of over stocks…Fish

and Game contrary to DOC…Rotorua lakes. Iwi not acknowledged for their

conservation efforts many done without crown funding, Rahui whenua projects

without consultation with wider hapū,

Lawyers circumnavigate around section 4 (Treaty rights) … lack of consistency of

what is offered between iwi.

So many hooks with what’s given back is it worth it at the end…

• Noted: Good time to send message to Crown post DOC restructure.

• Toro Waka – Ex DOC worker (Ngāti Pahauwera who has settled shared his

experience).

- Develop robust co-management charter.

- DOC have limited capacity and capability to do it all so form relationship

- No all DOC estates with Māori interest develop inventory and SWOT analysis

than develop management programmes – e.g. river restoration, 20 cadets,

fully funded by TPK, DOC, MFE, Regional Council.

- Good catch phrase is “International Interest” this work goes beyond local

interest…

- Become credible and the best conservators…but with Māori world view

• Mark Talked about the Marine Reserve-Kaikoura.

3 Mataitai that will benefit from the reserve.

Kaitiaki / Recreational take reviewed: used his own whanau of 6 people:

allowed:

60 paua, 200 Kina, 250 cockles, 60 groper and so on.

Marae wasting far too much should have a smorgasbord of bits of everything.

Customary take limited for hui e.g. 30 cray,50 paua

Last session

Develop a statement to take back to the next Iwi Chairs Forum.

1. A strategic conservation partnership with crown base on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

2. Iwi having Tino Rangatiratanga/Mana Motuhake within their rohe with the crown

fulfilling its obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

3. Acknowledge that Tino Rangatiratanga/Mana Motuhake has different meanings and

implementation’s based on iwi whakapapa, mana atua, mana whenua, mana

moana/wai. (our input)

4. Some of the common aspirations include:

a. Whole of government approach to conservation with iwi. (MFE, MPI,

LGNZ,TPK)

b. Consistent approach of crown with iwi.

c. Crown maintaining its funding levels for conservation.

A technical/work group was formed to further progress the kaupapa I was reluctant to

commit without the blessing of the EC.
