Newsletter May 2016 NEWSLETTER MAY 2016 In this issue Best Coastal Community Group Award Winners Volunteer Profiles Understanding Beach Erosion Working together to care for our coast – Kia ngatahi te tiaki takutai Hi Coasties Waiōtahe Valley School Firstly, a huge thank you to all those who participated in Coast Care last season – volunteers planted over 90,000 dune plants, helped with fencing, weeding and beach clean-ups! We had participation from lots of individual coastal residents as well as Coast Care groups, schools, raranga (weaving), fishing and corporate groups. Specifically, we planted and cared for 5,565 dune plants at Waihī Beach, 45,370 plants along the Mount & Pāpāmoa coastline, 19,158 plants from Maketū to Ōtamarākau, and 23,050 plants along the Eastern Bay coast. Coast Care is being run a little differently these days so that it better aligns with Regional Council’s ‘integrated catchment management’ approach. This means there are now a few more localised Coast Care Co-ordinators on the team – including myself. The co-ordinators will work together to support the delivery of the Coast Care programme along the Bay of Plenty coastline. We wish to welcome volunteers to join our upcoming winter planting season starting in May. Keep an eye out for planting dates or contact your local Coast Care Coordinator to find out how to get involved! We hope to see you out there helping care for the dunes this season.

This decision concerns thirteen applications for an urgent Tribunal hearing regarding the Crown’s recognition of the Whakatōhea Pre-Settlement Claims Trust Board’s (WPSCT) Deed of Mandate to negotiate the settlement of the historical Treaty claims of Te Whakatōhea. Background 2. The Crown terminated a mid-1990s proposed $40 million comprehensive settlement of Whakatōhea’s historical Treaty claims in March 1998, on the basis of a lack of sufficient support for the settlement among members of Te Whakatōhea (Wai 2589, #A1). 3. In August 2003 an interim working party prepared a report setting out a process for re- engaging with the Crown (Te Ara Tono mō te Raupatu). This was adopted at a Hui-a-Iwi in August 2007, and a group known as the Whakatōhea Raupatu Working Party was formed to prepare a mandating strategy. However, several hapū withdrew their support from the Party and formed the Tu Ake Whakatōhea Collective (the Collective) in 2010. The Collective was comprised of representatives from Ngāti Ira, Ngāti Ngāhere, Ngāti Rua and Ngāti Patumoana. Between 2011 and 2016, the Collective worked with the Whakatōhea Māori Trust Board (The Trust Board) to hold a series of consultative hui with hapū, marae, the Te Ūpokorehe Treaty Claims Trust, and the Whakatōhea Raupatu Working Party (Working Party) in order to gauge how Te Whakatōhea uri and hapū wished to proceed to settle their historical claims.
