Explanatory notes

Where local rohe are also occupied by a number of other iwi or hapū, the tangata
whenua or mana whenua view will take precedence. Other iwi or hapū views should
be encouraged in order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori kaupapa,
tikanga and take.

the local iwi and or hapū concerned.
