Purpose
The purpose of the Tauranga Moana Programme is to coordinate the work of councils in the
Tauranga Harbour and its catchment, and deliver on community expectations. This work includes policy
and planning, science, engineering, pollution prevention, maritime services as well as all operational
activities such as biosecurity, biodiversity protection and sustainable land management.
The Programme covers all significant activities (both projects and ongoing work) in the harbour catchment
carried out by Tauranga City Council (TCC), Western Bay of Plenty District Council (WBOPDC) and
Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC), providing an overall picture of the things we do in the area.
Background
The vision for Tauranga Moana is: “A healthy and thriving harbour and catchment that contributes to our
wellbeing today and in generations to come.” Outcomes sought for the harbour and its catchment are:
• Ecological Health: The natural environment is healthy and resilient, supporting thriving native wildlife
and kaimoana.
• Amenity: The harbour and catchments are able to be used and appreciated.
• Cultural: Mana whenua and Mana moana is recognised, kaitiakitanga is enabled and cultural values
are protected.
• Sustainable Land Management: Land and water use is managed to maintain and/or improve the
health of the harbour and catchment.
• Recognising Economic Importance: The economic value of access and use is retained for the
harbour and catchment.
• Community: Local communities have easy access to information about the harbour and catchment
values and issues, and are actively supported to care for values that are important to them.
This vision and outcomes were developed following community feedback received in a Perceptions Survey
conducted in April 2013. They are considered interim, until a formal process is undertaken to identify a
vision and outcomes through the development of a co-governance document.
The programme was formally established by Regional Council in 2013 in order to coordinate, prioritise and
deliver on all work related to the harbour and it’s catchment. Western Bay of Plenty District Council and
Tauranga City Council have been participating in the programme since 2015. The intent is that the
programme will develop to include all partners (iwi and the three councils) to enable a collaborative and
adaptive management approach.
The Tauranga Moana Iwi Collective Deed of Settlement, once passed into law, will require a Tauranga
Moana Governance Group to be established. To prepare for the Governance Group, an Advisory Group
has been established which consists of iwi collective members as well as councillors from
Tauranga City Council, Western Bay of Plenty District Council and Bay of Plenty Regional Council.
The first Tauranga Moana Advisory Group meeting was held 17 November 2014. The Advisory Group will
continue to meet, share information and provide direction to staff of partner agencies until replaced by the
Governance Group.
Tauranga Moana Iwi Management Plan The Tauranga Moana Iwi Management Plan 2016–2026 is a key document that influences the Tauranga Moana Programme. The plan is the collective voice of Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāi Te Rangi and Ngāti Pūkenga as it relates to Tauranga Moana: Te Awanui (Tauranga Harbour), surrounding lands and waters including the ocean. The plan articulates the collective vision and aspirations of the three Iwi in relation to Tauranga Moana (comprising Te Awanui; coastal marine areas; adjacent land and inland waters - rivers, streams, wetlands, groundwater and geothermal taonga). It includes priority issues, outcomes and actions for the 10 years 2016-2026. It also outlines protocols e.g. principles of engagement; engagement protocols for consent and plan change processes; role of mātauranga in projects/programmes. The plan was developed by the three Iwi to encourage greater collaboration now, in advance of Treaty Settlements. It seeks to highlight collective responsibility in the health and wellbeing of Tauranga Moana, and provide a more proactive (rather than reactive) approach to support Tauranga Moana Iwi and hapū at all levels within environmental management. It takes a “Sea to the Mountains” approach of looking at the environment as a whole. It is structured around five core elements, when in balance; represent the health of Tauranga Moana: • Tūhauora Tinana Healthy Waters • Tūhauora Whenua Healthy Land • Tūhauora Wairua Cultural Heritage • Tūhauora Whānau Our People • Tūhauora Hinengaro Knowledge

Assumptions
The key assumptions for the programme are:
• No substantive changes to the Annual Work Plan will be made by partners.
• The Tauranga Moana Iwi Collective Deed of Settlement will be passed into law.
• Responsibility for delivery of work identified in the programme remains the responsibility of the
individual agencies.
• Partners and stakeholders are able and willing to engage with the programme.Annual Work Plan
The following sections provide details on all of the Programme work planned in the Tauranga Harbour and
catchments by Tauranga City Council, Western Bay of Plenty District Council and
Bay of Plenty Regional Council. The Programme is broken into four areas of focus:
1 Governance, tangata whenua engagement and involvement and programme management.
2 Integrated planning and modelling.
3 Science.
4 Operations (includes maritime, infrastructure, catchment, parks and recreation, and pollution
prevention).
Each section shows work underway by individual agencies, but also identifies those collaborative activities
where two or more agencies are working together. Information on projects as well as deliverables and
budget are provided.Governance, tangata whenua engagement and involvement and programme management
