24WC: Conditions relating to Treaty settlements and recognised customary rights

You could also call this:

“Rules for protecting Māori rights and agreements with the government”

You can set conditions to protect or recognise important agreements made between Māori and the government. These agreements are called Treaty settlements. You can also set conditions about rights in the sea and coast that are recognised by law.

When you set these conditions, you must follow the rules in section 6. You can set conditions to make sure people follow the rules in two laws about the sea and coast. These laws are called the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 and the Ngā Rohe Moana o Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Porou Act 2019.

You can set these conditions as well as any other conditions allowed by this law. This doesn’t stop you from setting other types of conditions too.
