An Iwi Management (or Environmental) Plan is a document developed and approved by an iwi authority. These plans describe resource management issues of importance to them as tangata whenua.
The plans may also contain information relating to specific cultural values, historical accounts, descriptions of areas of interest and consultation/engagement protocols for resource consents and/or plan changes.
Iwi Management Plans provide a mechanism for the consideration of tāngata whenua interests in Council processes. There are specific legislative requirements that place a duty on Council to take these plans into account. In practice, local authorities must balance a number of competing interests, including hapū/iwi plans.
