Stormwater Conference 2023 - In-Conference Workshops

Aim: To present case studies of iwi partnership programmes by Mana Whenua representatives. It will include a workshopping element to encourage participants to look at their own mahi and how they can meaningfully give effect to Te Mana o te Wai.

Objectives:

• Examples/case studies by significant iwi/hapū Rangatira are given on projects with stormwater outcomes (both urban and rural examples).
• Attendees have workshopped Te Mana o te Wai in context to their own mahi and are left with a greater operational understanding.
• The significance and benefits of partnering with tangata whenua is understood as a necessity, ‘not a nice to have’.
