We are now programming the work for kaitiaki to input into the TREC work programme.

Below is the  programme for Ngāti Rakaipaaka, and whilst small, it is important:

1. One Future Works project timed to start on 10 February 2025;
2. Six completed works; and
3. Four emergency works.

The plan is to: 

1. facilitate input into the Future works project before the work starts, during and at close out; from this you may assess the need or otherwise for a Cultural Impact report; and
2. provide drone footage/desktop site visits for all other sites, both completed and emergency to assist in determining the need for retrospective consents or ongoing cultural effects assessments and, as well, whether onsite visits are needed.

As well as reviewing information relative to the sites noted below, we are also looking for the following:

1. Cultural Values Report, with a specific section identifying your preferred engagement protocol in the event of another emergency wet weather event;
2. Cultural Impact assessments, where considered necessary and agreed for selected sites.

Trust this is reasonable, subject to your approval of course. I look forward to hearing from you.
