Thank you for getting back to us. Ka pai, that is noted – we were reaching that conclusion ourselves, so will
cease progressing this piece and will not be publishing it in the 2021/22 Section 8I Report.

Apologies for the delayed response and apologies for not reaching this view sooner, as I am sure it will be
frustrating for you.
INFORMATION
I have discussed the request with my Director and we think it is premature to include discussion of Te Haeata
and He Korowai Whakamana in the section 8I report at this point in time. We are still implementing He
Korowai Whakamana and did not foresee any kind of reporting until the end of FY 23/24, which is also when
the Cabinet approved direction for agencies to include the status of their commitments in annual reports kicks
in.
I am happy to talk over the phone if easier – feel free to call me on 9(2)(a)
.

My two colleagues who are assisting with the responses on this have both been away sick the last 2 days. I
have emailed them both and asked if they can provide responses by the COP today. Fingers crossed they
are feeling better and are able to respond.
I’ll hopefully get back to you later today with a response.

We’ll do what we can to get you something by early next week/Monday. We have multiple staff away, and
some other urgent work priorities, so that’s the best we can do sorry.
I’ll be in touch if we have any questions, otherwise I’ll get back to you ASAP.

Hi Reece
Are you able to get it to me by COP Thursday, as it would be good to have it sooner rather than later, to
make best use of it. If not, then early next week is fine. Happy to discuss as well, if you had any questions
about the information requested. It’s largely just an update on the data and understanding what reviews
you may have undertaken on Haeata – so quite straightforward.
Best wishes

Thanks for your fast and very positive response – much appreciated!
I’ve pulled together the questions relating to Te Haeata below, some of which you may want to discuss over
the phone or in person – very happy to chat. Most of the questions relate to the scope and decisions
behind data that is currently being collected, access to Te Haeata, and next steps / opportunities. It would
also be useful to understand what reviews of Te Haeata you have planned/underway /completed from a
Crown user perspective. I’m reading the Cabinet paper
Enhancing Oversight of Treaty Settlement
Commitments, which was proactively released on Te Arawhiti’s website – let me know if there are any
updates on this.
ACT
Thanks again for your help with this.
Eva
THE
QUESTIONS
Access
Just trying to work out who currently has access to Te Haeata and what the plans are for extension.
The FAQs on the website suggested that it was limited to Crown users but I noted that your Annual
Report from last year seemed to suggest that training on Te Haeata was extended to iwi Māori? Will
non-Crown users just be able to view or will they be able to update it as well? Are there plans to
make it generally available to the public?
Data
UNDER
I’d like to be able to provide some up-to-date figures (for June 2023, if possible):
Number of registered users (I note that Te Arawhiti’s 2021/2022 annual report set this at 991 –
what’s the current number?
When it was launched, there were 45 settlements entered into the database, how many settlements
are currently in Te Haeata?
INFORMATION
I note that the 2021/2022 annual report also stated that there were 10,375 commitments published
on Te Haeata – are there been any updates to this number?
I note that the data on Te Haeata currently excludes the following categories outlined in the bullet points
below. Are there plans to incorporate this data at some point, and is the reason it was excluded due to
phase 1 resourcing and priority or was there other criteria?
Some agreements, such as some co-governance arrangements, have arisen out of Treaty settlements
but do not settle Treaty claims. Arrangements over the Waikato River and the Ngā Mana Whenua o
Tāmaki Makaurau Collective Redress Act 2014 are included in Te Haeata; however, these agreements
do not settle historical Treaty claims.
RELEASED
Te Haeata also does not record commitments from the Treaty of Waitangi (Fisheries Claims)
Settlement Act 1992 or Māori Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Act 2004.
Properties that have been specifically named in a commitment are able to be searched. Te Arawhiti
have advised that this usually applies to cultural properties and does not include commercial
properties that are listed in the property redress schedule.
OFFICIAL
Amendments to deeds trigger an update in Te Haeata but legislation that has consequential changes
for Treaty settlement legislation does not. Ensuring that Te Haeata is regularly updated as legislation
is amended would add further value to this tool and help it to be a more accurate record.
It is important to note that Te Haeata does not record other Treaty of Waitangi obligations that may
exist outside of Treaty settlements. Te Arawhiti uses the Resource Management Act 1991 as an
example, where that Act states that all persons exercising functions and powers under the RMA need
to take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
Are there any other plans to expand the type of data captured in Te Haeata, in particular, to work with
Crown organisations to establish what their needs are?
Document 13
Reviews
Are there any review plans underway / has a review been undertaken of Te Haeata, and what is/was the
nature of that review?

My name is Eva, and I am working with the Operational Policy and Design Team in the Policy Puni at Te Puni
Kōkiri. Our team is currently writing a report that Te Puni Kōkiri is required to produce annually under
RELEASED
section 8I of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975. This report is published and Tabled in Parliament. One of the
articles that we plan to share in this year’s report is about your tool – Te Haeata. I had a few questions
about Te Haeata and wondered if you had time for a short hui about this, either this week or next?
Alternatively, I can email through the questions, if this is easier from your end.

Let me know what works best for you.
