Inaccessible land, with no public right of way,
and land without administration is an issue
for Waiariki, as in a number of areas around
the country.
We would also like to extend the sample of
the land asset base in Waiariki to look at land
administered by the Mäori Trustee and to
specifically include details of the activities on
the land that they administer.
5.4 LOOKING AHEAD
The diverse activities of Mäori land
incorporations and ahu whenua trusts in the
Waiariki rohe illustrate the importance of
capitalising on strengths and opportunities,
but also the need for collaborating with public
agencies on relevant sector projects, and skills
and education initiatives. These activities also
illustrate where Mäori land incorporations and
ahu whenua trusts could come together to work
on issues of common interest or as clusters.
One example of an existing strategy and
action plan that could be collaborated on is
the Bay of Plenty Regional Strategy. A focus
area of the Bay of Plenty Regional Strategy
is the development of Mäori economic
development and resource utilisation.
This strategy encourages collaborative
partnerships between public agencies and
iwi to foster economic development, and the
further development of Mäori commercial
development and leadership.
