Hawke’s Bay Regional Planning Committee Bill

I will take just a brief call to explain to members what Supplementary Order Paper 104 is about. All it is is that, since this bill had its first reading on 2 November 2014, two of the iwi in the “tāngata whenua appointer” definition in clause 4, Ngāti Hineuru and He Toa Takitini, have actually formed their mandated post-settlement governance entities. This has happened, obviously, before the legislation has passed, and that is why an amendment to the definition of “tāngata whenua appointer” in clause 4 is required to reflect this. Minor subsequent amendments to clauses 5 and 11 are also required.

The question was put that the amendments set out on Supplementary Order Paper 104 in the name of the Hon Christopher Finlayson be agreed to.

Amendments agreed to.

Preamble, Parts 1 and 2, schedule, and clauses 1 and 2 as amended agreed to.

Bill reported with amendment.

Report adopted.

Third Reading
