or “Iwi groups and local councils can start working together at different times, even if they said no before.”

When you start a Mana Whakahono a Rohe, you need to finish it within a certain time. If someone invites you to start a Mana Whakahono a Rohe under section 58O(1), you and the other people involved must complete it within 18 months from when the invitation was received. However, if everyone agrees, you can take a different amount of time to finish it.
