Iwi engagement report
22.
The iwi engagement report required under section 33C of the Act
Section 33C of the Crown Minerals Act 1991 states that every holder of a Tier 1 permit must provide to the Minister an
annual report of the holder’s engagement with iwi and hapū whose rohe includes some or all of the permit area or
who otherwise may be directly affected by the permit.
The report should also note any engagement with or notification to iwi or hapū that has taken place as a requirement
of any other legislation.
The purpose of the report is to encourage engagement with relevant iwi and hapū in a positive and constructive
manner and will enable NZP&M to monitor progress in this regard. It is intended to be a high level indication of how
iwi engagement is progressing, not a detailed account of each transaction. Of course, sharing examples and details is
welcomed, but not required.
Your report should describe your engagement with iwi and hapū over the previous calendar year regarding permit
activities. Where applicable, it should also note why there has not been any engagement.
Please note the following points regarding the assessment of the report.
2016 Version 1.001
Page 10 of 12

NZP&M will monitor the engagement with iwi and hapū and this will be an agenda item in the annual review
meetings

NZP&M will assess whether the views of iwi and hapū are included in the report and will take into account any
comments received from iwi and hapū

NZP&M may discuss with iwi and hapū the outcome of the review of the report.
