Dia Dhuit Marc,

 

Thanks for the enquiry. Your request had five questions as per below.

 

Questions 1, 3 and 4 were transferred to the Te Urewera Board as they were
deemed the best organisation to answer those particular questions.

 

The Department of Conservation is going to focus on answering questions 2
and 5

 

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request the following
information:

1. All meeting agendas and meeting minutes of the Te Urewera Board from 1
January 2018 to date. If DOC does not hold these, please transfer this
part of the request to the appropriate agency.

2. Internal documents or notes that discuss the fact that the Te Urewera
Board or the Tuhoe people have not accessed funding available to them to
maintain Te Urewera

3. An electronic copy of the statutory, contractual or otherwise legal
basis on which the Te Urewera Board or the Tuhoe people have denied DOC
staff access into Te Urewera to do maintenance work

4. An electronic copy of the statutory, contractual or otherwise legal
basis on which the Te Urewera Board or the Tuhoe people have closed Lake
Waikaremoana to the public, inhibited boat owners to access their boats,
and restricted access to the public to Te Urewera as a whole

5. An electronic copy of internal DOC documents that assess our outline
whether the Te Urewera Board or the Tuhoe people have breached their
statutory, contractual or otherwise legal obligations in blocking public
access to Lake Waikaremoana and Te Urewera as a whole
