Issues
This Chapter contains rules relating to land uses on Sites of Significance to Māori.
It should also be noted that not all heritage areas of significance to Māori are identified on the Planning Maps. Tangata whenua are developing Iwi/Hapū Environmental Management Plans which may identify further areas. In the case of discretionary activities, Council shall take such Plans into account and shall encourage consultation with tangata whenua.
Sites of Significance to Māori are identified on the Planning Maps, indicated by a symbol and number. The details of a site are in SSM - Appendix 1. The Council holds a separate record (not in the Plan) of the names and addresses of the kaitiaki (traditional custodians) for each site. The name and address of the kaitiaki will be made available to applicants for resource consents for relevant sites on request, so that the correct people can be contacted in relation to the application.
Subdivision Rules control subdivision involving Sites of Significance to Māori.

Principal Reasons for Rules/Explanations
Activities
These rules implement the policies in Chapter 7 to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects on Sites of Significance to Māori. Activities which result in the physical disturbance of sites are likely to have potential adverse effects and, therefore, will require a resource consent.
Kaitiaki
The kaitiaki (the Māori people who are the traditional custodians) are listed in records held by the Council. These records were created in the course of consultation between the Council and tangata whenua when this Plan was drafted. The names of the kaitiaki from this list will be given to applicants, whenever necessary, to allow them to contact the kaitiaki for the relevant site and obtain their comments on the effects of a proposed activity.
