33CA: Annual review meeting about iwi engagement reports

You could also call this:

"Meeting to discuss how well you worked with iwi"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

You need to have a meeting every year to talk about how you engage with iwi. This meeting is required if you have to write an iwi engagement report, as stated in section 33C, and if any iwi or hapū asks for it. The meeting is to discuss the report and how well you engaged with iwi. You will attend this meeting with the chief executive, iwi or hapū, and sometimes the Minister or regulatory agencies. The chief executive invites iwi or hapū who are affected by your permit to the meeting. They must give them enough time to say if they can come. The meeting must be held at a reasonable time and place, and you must send a representative who knows about your work. The chief executive tells everyone who is coming to the meeting. A relevant iwi or hapū is one whose area includes some or all of your permit area, or who may be directly affected by your permit.
