tĀHUHU KŌRERO / Background
Te Reo Māori is a living language that needs revitalisation and is unique to Māori and Iwi which distinguishes our identity on the world stage. Iwi and Māori are kaitiaki of Te Reo.
Language is important to everyone and valued by all, without language Far North District Council (FNDC) is unable to convey our messages, tell our stories and connect to our mana whenua partners and communities better.
Te Reo is the medium in which Tikanga Māori, and whakapapa knowledge is shared among generations which provides the mauri life force on marae. Te Reo and Tikanga Māori are inextricably linked, and our internal training approach reflects this dual relationship.
This policy operates on the basis of ‘owning it’ in that everyone has a role to play in implementing this policy in order for FNDC to achieve its vision.
FNDC has had numerous Te Reo and Tikanga opportunities over the years. These courses have usually been funded by individual departments. This policy looks to align the commitment that each department provides to increasing staff capability in this area.
FNDC has also operated a successful and supportive Waiata Group, set up to support Council at Council events with Cultural support including Kaikōrero, Kaiwaiata and Kaikaranga.
This policy further supports the enhancement of this rōpū and increases the knowledge around the legislative requirements for cultural support within council.
FNDC through the Long-Term Plan aim to build the capability of staff and elected members in Te Ao Māori.
This policy will assist staff in understanding the connections between developing cultural competency in Te Ao Māori through the use and understanding of te reo Māori, in forming lasting and meaningful connections with the community.
This is a new plan.
The vision is that “By 2025, FNDC has increased the use of Te Reo and Tikanga in our workspaces and the public places we manage as a key element in strengthening our partnership with tangata whenua and in delivering effective services.
MATAPAKI ME NGĀ KŌWHIRINGA / Discussion and Next Steps
Goals and objectives within this plan have been workshopped amongst key staff stakeholder groups to ensure alignment across work programmes.
Goals and objectives also give effect to the Far North District Council Te Pae Tata, Toi Māori and FN2100.
Staff suggest that Te Kuaka – Te Ao Māori Committee endorse this plan with the intention that staff, through the CEO, will commit to achieving the objectives and targets as highlighted within the plan over a 3-year period.
PĀNGA PŪTEA ME NGĀ WĀHANGA TAHUA / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

MATAPAKI ME NGĀ KŌWHIRINGA / Discussion and Next Steps
Unused Rating Application form
According to the Amendment Act, rating units of that are entirely unused should not be charged rates. Although many properties were identified as unused when the Act came into force in 2021, there are still many being rated which should be non-rateable.
The application forms that have been created will be passed to owners of properties which are currently rated but may not be used. The owners can provide information which will allow the rating team to change the status of the rate account to non-rateable and write-off any rates, current and arrears, which are on the account.
A copy of the completed Unused Rating Unit application forms in English and Māori has been attached. Feedback from Elected Members will be incorporated before these are issued into production.
Property Reviews
The team completed a review of 48 properties, which were identified as unused in 2021, and the rate account was changed to non-rateable, but an arrears balance remained on the account. The outcome of the review is outlined below:
· 13 – confirmed unused, $41,882.05 arrears balance written off.
· 35 – confirmed were unused $122,213.76 arrears balance to be written off.
12 of the above 48 properties– have been identified as unused land. The unused application form to be sent (step one).
We will need involvement from the owner(s) for the properties where we have not been able to confirm, with the current mapping and information, whether this is used or not.
The first step is to send a letter with application form to the owner(s) at the property address. If no communication is received after 30 days, the team will explore options such as reaching out to Rūnanga or others for owner(s) contact details, while safeguarding the owner(s) privacy.
Community Engagement plan
A copy of the draft community engagement plan which will be shared with Elected Members on 10 September is attached. The draft plan will be refined based on feedback provided by the Elected Members.
Updates
Verbal updates of any changes since the date the report was submitted, will be provided by the team during the committee meeting.
PĀNGA PŪTEA ME NGĀ WĀHANGA TAHUA / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
Provision is made for doubtful debts in relation to the arrears owed to council.
Impact on financial performance is expected to be limited as aged balances are provided for under the doubtful debt provision, which offsets the amount written off within the rating year.
Financial implications are relevant to the engagement plan as budget is required to fund this activity.

Rangitoto Reserve
He whenua taurikura, Rangitoto Te Pā, e ai ki ngā kōrero ō tetahi kaumātua, he pakanga i tū ki tēnei Pā, engari kihai tētahi i toa, ehara ko Ngāti Ruaiti, ehara ko te hoariri, ka mutu nā ngā kōrero i raro iho nei te take kua whakawhiwhia tēnei tūtohu whenua. Hei ko tā Margaret Mutu,
“The Waitangi Tribunal found that this land was never alienated by mana whenua and as such still belongs to them. It is listed for return in Ngāti Kahu: Portrait of a Sovereign Nation. The correct action for the Far North District Council to take here is to vest this land back in mana whenua, for them alone to determine how it is to be managed and for Far North District Council to provide the necessary resources needed to carry out that management”.
Council does not have legal vehicle access to the site and public access is only by foot along the beach, so the reserve is not well used and community values may be hard to determine. There is also little research and historical Information available about this site other than land property records.
As the historical values of the site are largely unknown and without public awareness, it was decided that public consultation would not be formally started until a cultural assessment or assessments have been received.
Ngāti Ruaiti Cultural Assessment was carried out by Donna Burkitt endorsed by Te Rūnanga o Whaingaroa. Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa have a treaty claim over an area that includes Hihi and Rangitoto Reserve and have also expressed an interest in providing a Cultural Values Assessment.
Progress is now nearing the public consultation.
Consultation during this process took place alongside interested iwi and hapu, community members and Iwi organisations, community board members, council staff and contractors.

Ngāti Ruamahue – Motueka Iti
Whatungarongaro te tangata toitū te whenua. I tū tēnei hui ki Wainui Marae, ko te take o tēnei hui, e rapu ana ā Ngāti Ruamahue i ngā whakautu mō ngā rētī e pā ana ki a Motueka Iti, he moutere ki roto i te rohe ō Ngati Kahu ki Whangaroa. He hui hei whakamohio atu ki te huarahi kia kake ai te momo o tēnei moutere kia whakamanahia ngā wāwata o te hapū nei.
Ko ngā patai i puta mai, he aha te huarahi tika kia whakahokia mai te moutere Motueka Iti ki ōnā uri?
Ka pehea Te Kaunihera o Te Hiku o Te Ika e āwhina, me ngā Kaikaunihera Māori? Ko te hakautu,mā ēnei hui kite ai te hapū ko konei ngā Kaikaunihera Māori kia hakarongo me te tuku awhina hei rapu i te huarahi pai mo te iwi nei.
Hei te mutunga iho mā Te Arawhiti e tuhi reta ai, kia tautoko i te tono nei kia mukua ngā rētī kia timata te kōkiri i ngā mahi whakaora Taiao me te hakatikaina hei whenua (moutere) rētī kore. Mā tēnei huarahi kia whakahokia mai te taitara ki te whenua Māori ki reira tono ai i roto i ngā kerēme o te Taraipuinara. Katoa ngā kōrero e aro ana ki te huarahi rētī, ko te hiahia nui kia whakahokia mai te whenua, moutere o Motueka iti ki te hapū ō Ngāti Ruamahue.
Council were invited to work through land rating issues alongside the hapū as they await the return of their motu.
Council were presented with a beautiful paraikete as a symbol of our relationship.
