Te Tīmatanga – Introductory Workshop begins with the foundation to understanding these values, including the role of Tiriti o Waitangi / Treaty of Waitangi, and is designed to help attendees prepare themselves to engage with tangata whenua in their work.


It is important that planners understand the role of mana whenua and tangata whenua in the resource management environment and how to recognise and provide for their values. Planning for Māori Values is designed as a series of three workshops.

  • Te Tīmatanga – Introductory Workshop
  • Te Piriti – Intermediate Workshop
  • Ki Te Hoe – Advanced Workshop

Issues in relation to Māori land and its use are complex; this workshop will also assist planners to understand the legislation and constraints facing the use of Māori resources and provide practical information on how to better provide for these issues through our plans and decisions.

Learning outcomes:

  • Gain an understanding of tangata whenua values in the environment and how to provide for these values as planners
  • Gain an appreciation of the Declaration of Independence and Te Tiriti o Waitangi / Treaty of Waitangi
  • Understand the importance of whakawhanaungatanga and gain skills and knowledge to undertake effective engagement with tangata whenua
