Te Waihora Draft Plan
The Te Waihora Joint Management Plan - Mahere Tukutahi o Te Waihora Draft October 2004 is divided into four parts:
- Introduction
- Values
- Management
- Plan Implementation and Review
Introduction
Introduction covers the purposes of the Joint Management Plan, its vision, and the roles and responsibilities of the various agencies involved in the management of Te Waihora and the Te Waihora environment.
Values
Values is a descriptive section giving background information on the values of Te Waihora. This is to give an understanding of the associations Ngāi Tahu and other New Zealanders have with Te Waihora and the Te Waihora environment. These associations are encapsulated in highlighted statements at the beginning of each section. This part of the Plan provides a context for management and establishes the objectives from which the policies and methods in the remaining parts of the Plan are derived.
Management
Management sets out the policies and methods for the future management of the Joint Management Plan Area, and for advocacy in the Te Waihora environment, and outside of the land management responsibilities of Te Rūnanga and the Department. Each section starts by repeating the relevant objectives from Part 2.
Plan Implementation and Review
Plan Implementation and Review outlines the actions that will be carried out by Te Rūnanga and the Department, both individually and together, to implement the Joint Management Plan as well as plan monitoring and review.
