Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998

Notification of Tōpuni for Tapuae o Uenuku

Pursuant to section 243 (3) of the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998 the Minister of Conservation hereby notifies that the area described in the Schedule hereto has been declared to Tōpuni by section 238 of the Act.

Pursuant to section 239 of the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998 the Crown acknowledges the Ngāi Tahu values in relation to this Tōpuni.

The provisions of the Act which relate to Tōpuni are sections 237 to 253, inclusive. Further details of the Ngāi Tahu values may be found in Schedules 80 to 93 of the Act and the areas declared to be Tōpuni are shown on the allocation plans appended to the deed of settlement between Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the Crown dated 21 November 1997.

The following specific principles, which are set out in attachments 12.130 to 12.143 of the deed of settlement, have been agreed between Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the Crown for each site to avoid harm to or the diminishing of Ngāi Tahu values related to each Tōpuni:

(a) Encouragement of respect for Ngāi Tahu’s association with each Tōpuni;

(b) Accurate portrayal of Ngāi Tahu’s association with each Tōpuni; and

(c) Recognition of Ngāi Tahu’s relationship with wāhi tapu and wāhi taonga, including archaeological sites.

In addition to these principles the following specific principle applies to the Tōpuni for Tapuae o Uenuku:

(d) Recognition of Ngāi Tahu’s relationship with the pounamu resource, as given effect through the Ngāi Tahu (Pounamu Vesting) Act 1997.

Further, pursuant to clause 12.5.10 of the deed of settlement, the Director-General of Conservation has determined that the following actions will be taken by the Department of Conservation in relation to the specific principles applicable to Tapuae o Uenuku:

(a) Encouragement of respect for Ngāi Tahu’s association with Tapuae o Uenuku

Staff, conservation board members, concessionaires and the public will be provided with information about the Ngāi Tahu values and the existence of the Tōpuni over Tapuae o Uenuku;

Educational material will be made available to climbers and all climbing guides explaining that, to Ngāi Tahu, standing on the very top of the mountain denigrates its tapu status;

A review of conditions to be applied generally to new concessions will be undertaken;

The removal of all rubbish and wastes from Tapuae o Uenuku will be encouraged;

The department will ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, that it disposes of waste, particularly human waste, in a way that minimises the risk of contamination of waterways; and

Te Rūnanga will be consulted about the siting and design of new huts or other buildings, and particular regard had to its views.
