Here are some bullet points on the current permit hold for hunting in Te Urewera.


v Due to the changeover in management from DOC to Te Urewera Board, currently, there are no permits for carrying a firearm in Te Urewera.
v NZDA encourages all members/ hunters to go to the Te Uru Taumatua website for more information regarding Te Urewera Permits. www.ngaituhoe.iwi.nz
v NZDA has offered its assistance to get the permitting system up and running as soon as possible.
v NZDA asks for patience from hunters, as this will ensure a good relationship is upheld with Tuhoe and Te Urewera Board.
Te Urewera is no longer a national park and is vested in itself as its own legal identity. It will effectively own itself in perpetuity with the Board to speak as its voice to provide governance and management in accordance with the principles of the Te Urewera Act.

NZDA has a very good relationship with Tuhoe and has been consulted as an important stakeholder throughout the treaty settlement process..
