Thread: Update for those in the Te miro Te Tapui ballot

Hi All,

Spoke to Kim at DOC Te Rapa this morning and there's been a little change to how things normally go for the ballot. The local Iwi Nagati Haua settlement has gone through and transition of ownership has occurred a little quicker than everyone was thinking.

As a result the ballot that is normally notified by the start of FEB won't be made until the 10th FEB with notification via mail to follow. There has been a slight change with the normal boundaries for the area and those after Te Tapui A which will be affected this season (detail still to come out, but i think they're possibly not going to offer it this year ).

Apart from that with transition going to IWI they (IWI) have chosen to use the existing process and ballot system for this year whilst they decide what to do in the coming years. Kind of a similar situation to the transition to IWI in the Uruwera's one would think although they individually as Iwi will make up their mind how to handle things going forward regarding access and terms of use.

That's all I have for now I'll let you all know more as / when it comes to hand.

Regards
