I'd like to highlight how this bill offers joint redress over Wairarapa Moana, and the Ruamāhanga River catchment, to both Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne, acknowledging the significance of the taonga for both iwi. The Crown-owned part of the bed of Wairarapa Moana will be vested in Rangitāne and Ngāti Kahungunu as undivided, unequal shares as tenants in common. The Wairarapa Moana statutory board will be established to act as a guardian of Wairarapa Moana and the Ruamāhanga River catchment for the benefit of current and future generations. Significantly, half of the board will be composed of iwi members. The other half will comprise members appointed by the Department of Conservation, Wellington Regional Council, and the South Wairarapa District Council—you might say a joint governance process. The Wairarapa statutory board will administer the Wairarapa Moana reserves. A natural resources committee of the board will be established, which will provide advice on sustainable management of natural resources in the Ruamāhanga River catchment.
