Returning to this bill, that works in conjunction with these other initiatives to stimulate whānau development through whenua. I'd like to now comment on the key proposals contained in this bill. By far the biggest problem for owners of Māori land engaging with local authorities about development is the problem of rates arrears. Under current law, the accumulation of rates arrears creates a negative cycle. The ability of owners to pay rates and the inability of whānau to develop their land has prevented them from being able to pay those rates. Existing rates arrears inhibit owners from engaging with local authorities to promote the development of the land. We need to break this cycle. We actually need to change up the conversation, because if whenua Māori is developed, there are local and regional benefits from growth opportunities.
