Mana Whenua Cultural Impact Assessments
Tamaki Makaurau – Tamaki Here Nga Waka
E Nga Mana – E Nga Reo – E Nga Karanga Maha
E nga Tangata Whenua e paa ana mai ki nga rohe o Tamaki Makaurau whanui tonu.
Tenei te mihi kia koutou [insert tribe] e paa ana ki tenei mahi whakahirahira
e whakamana ake te whenua. Tena Koutou Katoa.
The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan includes new provisions that identify areas of cultural significance to iwi. This requires developers to approach the affected iwi for a Mana Whenua Cultural Impact Assessment (MWCIA). Many sites will require the input of more than one Mana Whenua group. The Mana Whenua Cultural Impact Assessment will take into account the nature, size, scale and effect that any proposed work or development will have on cultural wellbeing outcomes as defined by each iwi. This process is necessary in order to protect resources and places of significance or value to Mana Whenua.
