Māori Impact
Statement
ORC’s proposed Annual Plan 2022/23 reiterates its
commitment to “Partnership with Kāi Tahu and Iwi liaison” as
detailed in the Long-Term Plan 2021/31. The proposed Annual Plan
maintains the level of capacity associated with council’s activity to
date, albeit with a 1 full time equivalent increase associated with capacity
to support partnership with Kāi Tahu, Iwi liaison and strategic
stakeholders.
Given the timeframe constraints for submission feedback,
DCC staff have been unable to consult with mana whenua and mātāwaka
on the impacts that may result from a decision to approve the DCC submission.
