We hope you enjoy your stay and take the time to explore, get to know us and our beautiful landscape, history and people. The Whanganui River, Te Awa o Whanganui, is the longest navigable river in New Zealand and an integral part of our district, shaping the development, settlement and history of both early Māori and European settlers. Blessed with an abundance of natural attributes, unspoilt native forest, a temperate climate with above average sunshine hours and stunning west coast beaches, Whanganui has attracted visitors and residents over the ages. We are big enough to entertain with a multitude of outdoor, cultural activities and events and yet small enough to keep it real. Our manaakitanga (hospitality) is legendary and we keep it casual and friendly. You may notice the two different spellings – Wanganui and Whanganui. The district has used both spellings since the mid-1800’s as local iwi pronounciation makes the ‘wh’ sound similar to ‘what’ and ‘where.’ European settlers then wrote the name as they heard it.

  • NGĀ WAI O TE MĀORI Ngā Tikanga Me Ngā Ture Roia the Waters of the Māori: Māori Law and State Law
    NGĀ WAI O TE MĀORI Ngā Tikanga me Ngā Ture Roia The Waters of the Māori: Māori Law and State Law. A paper prepared for the New Zealand Māori Council 23 January 2017 HE WHAKAMĀRAMA Purpose 1. This paper is for filing in the Waitangi Tribunal in relation to a claim that existing laws do not adequately accommodate the Māori proprietary interest in natural, water resources. The claim was initiated by the New Zealand Māori Council in association with ten tribal groups. It was later accompanied by 166 other Māori groups, whom the Tribunal joined as interested parties. 2. The inquiry has progressed through stage one, where the Tribunal found that a Māori proprietary interest in natural water resources had been proven. The Supreme Court endorsed that finding. A long recess followed while the Crown developed its proposals to reform water laws. 3. In the current stage 2, the Tribunal is considering the adequacy of the Crown’s present and proposed laws. It is anticipated that in the middle of the current year, geothermal water will be addressed as stage 3 and in stage 4, the inquiry may focus on how the Māori interest may be provided for in law. 4. The Māori Council considered that technical evidence on custom law would be filed in the final stage after the tribal groups had given their customary evidence. However, on 16 November, an interested party sought leave to file expert and technical evidence on custom law by 20 January 2017. The Tribunal accepted that custom law evidence should be filed by that date.

This report documents the development and definition of water management zones and sub-zones within the Manawatu-Wanganui Region. The water management zones support the policy framework for surface water allocation, surface water quality and activities in the beds of rivers and lakes; including structures and flood protection works. Water management zones are the first step toward the development of a framework for managing the synergies and conflicts between values and activities in the Region’s river systems.
