I refer to your Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act
request of 31 August 2024 regarding the consultation process for the
Tarawera Sewerage Scheme, and respond to your specific requests below:

 

 1. All records of consultation with iwi and hapū, including the
Rotokākahi Board of Control, concerning the Tarawera Sewerage Scheme. 
This includes but is not limited to meeting minutes, correspondence
(emails, letters), reports and any documentation of agreements or
understandings reached.

 

Please refer to the attached link to download the following documents:

 

o Terms of reference and minutes of the Tarawera Steering Committee
between 2016-2018 (Zip file - ECM 20654643). 

The Tarawera Steering Committee explored the options for sewerage
management at Tarawera, and included representatives from:  Tūhourangi
Tribal Authority (TTA), Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi, Te Arawa Lakes Trust,
Māori land owners, the Lake Tarawera Ratepayers Association, Bay of Plenty
Regional Council (BOPRC) and Rotorua Lakes Council.  A current member of
the Rotokākahi Board of Control (RBOC) was part of this steering group.

 

The Tarawera Sewerage Steering Committee selected a preferred option in
2018 with input from various iwi entities. Following this, a Cultural
Impact Assessment (CIA) was commissioned and executed by manawhenua to
gather feedback from all relevant mana whenua stakeholders, including the
RBOC. The CIA incorporated the RBOC’s views and feedback. The CIA
identified some concerns related to the route, and these concerns were
incorporated into the project’s operational procedures. While opposition
to the pipeline was noted, the Council's decision to proceed with the
adopted option took into account several considerations, including the
need for effective and efficient solutions, achieving environmental and
health objectives, and managing costs for the wider community. The
Steering Committee, which included iwi and community representatives,
unanimously recommended the preferred option, which involves using
low-pressure grinder pumps and connecting to Rotorua through the Tarawera
Road corridor. Arriving at the preferred option was the result of careful
and balanced consideration of all technical, cultural, financial and
planning factors. 

 

o Committee/Council agendas and minutes between 2018-2024 (numbered
1-12) (Zip file – ECM 20654958):

To collate and research further information (ie: emails and letters) over
the last 8-9 years (if possible)  will take a considerable amount of
collation and research for which Council is entitled to charge at a rate
of $76 per hour.  This could result in a significant cost to you.  Could I
suggest you refer to the Tarawera Sewerage Scheme project page on
Council’s website [1]HERE where there is a considerable amount of
information regarding this project.  If you then require specific
information please let me know.

 

 2. Details of any meetings or hui that involved discussions about the
pipeline route, including dates, attendees and outcomes.

Refer to the attached minutes of the Tarawera Steering Committee.

 

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this response/decision. The Ombudsman’s Office can be contacted by calling
