I want to make a specific point about the role that our local government and our territorial authorities have played. When reading through the bill, I was particularly interested to see the contribution from local government—the Tararua District Council making available the Mākirikiri Recreation Reserve; the Masterton District Council relinquishing its control and appointment of the Mataikona reserve; and the fact that the Crown and the trustees of the Ngāti Kahungunu Settlement Trust and the Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā Trust have agreed, along with Wellington Regional Council and South Wairarapa District Council, to be part of the Wairarapa Moana Statutory Board. Those parties, together with Masterton District Council and Carterton District Council, have agreed to be part of the Wairarapa Moana Statutory Board's committee for natural resources.
