This report contributes to existing Ministry for the Environment resources relating to the development and implementation of iwi and hapū management plans (IHMPs).
The Resource Management Act 1991 has provided some recognition of iwi and hapū planning since its enactment. Over the last three decades iwi and hapū have developed and revised hundreds of IHMPs. MfE currently has records for 187 planning documents created primarily for use under the RMA by iwi, hapū and marae.
This research examines the IHMPs that MfE has on record to bring forward insights about what these documents include, how they are organised, and what some of the newer plans provide. The IHMPs examined were all published over the past 30 years, with the majority published in the last decade.
