This schedule talks about how local authorities should think about giving rates relief for Māori freehold land. You need to consider how important different goals are in your area, and how giving rates relief might help or hurt these goals. Some of these goals include supporting traditional land use, respecting Māori culture and traditions, keeping Māori land in Māori ownership, and helping Māori develop their land for economic use.
The schedule also mentions other things to think about, like protecting sacred Māori sites (waahi tapu), supporting marae and papakainga housing, and looking after the environment. It’s important to consider how the land helps the community, including things like preserving nature, protecting special natural features, and looking after native plants and animals.
Lastly, you should think about what services the community provides to the land and the people living there, and how easy it is to get to the land. All of these factors can help decide if and how to give rates relief on Māori freehold land.
