Section 35A of the RMA: section 35A(2)(b) of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) requires each local authority to include in its records all the information provided to it by the Crown on:

  • the contact details of each iwi authority within the region or district of that local authority and areas over which one or more iwi exercise kaitiakitanga within that region or district; and
  • any groups that represent hapū for the purposes of the RMA and the areas over which one or more hapū exercise kaitiakitanga within the region or district of that local authority.

Te Kāhui Māngai: is the means by which the Crown seeks to meet the requirements of section 35A(2) of the RMA in terms of the information the Crown must provide to local authorities.

You can identify iwi authorities that have an interest in a local authority district or region by clicking on the relevant local authority. The number in brackets indicates the number of iwi authorities within a particular local authority’s district or region.

Groups that represent hapū for the purposes of the Resource Management Act 1991 can be found on the Representative Organisation page of the Iwi to which the relevant hapū are affiliated.
