KIERAN McANULTY: It is a case where a unique approach has been taken. While some may want to interject and try and play petty politics on roading projects, there is a serious point to this, and that is that unlike previous projects, the New Zealand Transport Agency and the alliance of which it is part formed a relationship with local iwi—recognising the unique role, recognising the importance of the land to them—and had a co-governance approach to that construction. Some may argue that there is no role for that in such things. But this project has taken into consideration the unique and special insight that local iwi were able to provide. It has taken into consideration the importance of preserving the mana of the land, the water that flows through the Manawatū River; the importance of restoring the land, once the road is built, with native planting, but also working with local iwi to ensure that actually the majority of the people working on that project are from local areas.
