Hon KIRITAPU ALLAN: Well, it's a good question. In 2017, the National Government recognised the Whanganui River, in law, as a "living and indivisible whole" Te Awa Tupua through the Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims Settlement) Act. The Act established co-governance arrangements including Te Pou Tupua, the human face that represents the river comprising Crown and iwi nominees; and Te Kōpuka, a permanent joint committee under the Local Government Act acting as a strategy group for the river, with delegated planning powers comprised of members including iwi appointees. The Department of Conservation is supporting Te Kōpuka to develop Te Heke Ngahuru, the strategy for Te Awa Tupua, and the Mouri Tūroa project, which will support this kaupapa through the focus of the restoration of the awa and the reclamation of tikanga.
