33C: Iwi engagement reports

You could also call this:

"Telling the government how you worked with Māori communities"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you have a Tier 1 permit, you must give the Minister a report every year about how you worked with iwi or hapū. You must do the same if you have a Tier 2 permit of a certain type. The report is about the iwi or hapū whose area includes some or all of the permit area, or who may be directly affected by the permit. You will need to talk to these iwi or hapū and work with them.

Before you give the Minister your report, you must show a draft to the iwi or hapū and give them a chance to comment on it. You must then include their comments in your final report, as long as they gave you their comments on time. The report must also include certain information that is required.

The government can set rules about when you must give them your report and what the report must include. They can also decide how often you must give them a report, and this can be different for different types of permits. Your first report must be about the year ending 31 December 2014.
