Preamble (1) In June 2003, the Court of Appeal held in Attorney-General v Ngāti Apa [2003] 3 NZLR 643 that the Māori Land Court had jurisdiction to determine claims of customary ownership to areas of the foreshore and seabed. The Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 (the 2004 Act) was enacted partly in response to the Court of Appeal’s decision: (2) In its Report on the Crown’s Foreshore and Seabed Policy (Wai 1071), the Waitangi Tribunal found the policy underpin ning the 2004 Act in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi. The Tribunal raised questions as to whether the policy complied with the rule of law and the principles of fairness and non-dis crimination against a particular group of people. Criticismwas voiced against the discriminatory effect of the 2004 Act on whānau, hapū, and iwi by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the United Na tions Special Rapporteur: (3) In 2009, a Ministerial Review Panel was set up to provide independent advice on the 2004 Act. It, too, viewed the Act as severely discriminatory against whānau, hapū, and iwi. The Panel proposed the repeal of the 2004 Act and engagement with Māori and the public about their interests in the foreshore and seabed, recommending that new legislation be enacted to reflect the Treaty of Waitangi and to recognise and provide for 7 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM319838 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM319838 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM319838 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM319838 s 1 Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 2011 No 3 the interests of whānau, hapū, and iwi and for public interests in the foreshore and seabed: (4) This Act takes account of the intrinsic, inherited rights of iwi, hapū, and whānau, derived in accordance with tikanga and based on their connection with the foreshore and seabed and on the principle of manaakitanga. It translates those inherited rights into legal rights and interests that are inalienable, endur ing, and able to be exercised so as to sustain all the people of New Zealand and the coastal marine environment for future generations: The Parliament of New Zealand therefore enacts as follows: 1 Title This Act is the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 and may also be cited as— (a) the Marine and Coastal Area Act 2011; or (b) te Takutai Moana Act 2011. 2 Commencement This Act comes into force on the day after the date on which it receives the Royal assent.

(3) If, on the day before any quinquennial anniversary, an un formed road to which subsection (1) applies continues in ex istence as an unformed road, then that road is deemed to be stopped, and becomes part of the common marine and coastal area on that anniversary, unless a current certificate has been signed and dated in respect of that road. (4) If a road to which subsection (1) applies continues to be un formed for at least 15 years after the commencement of this Act, the road is deemed to be stopped, and becomes part of the common marine and coastal area, on the date that the re sponsible Minister, in his or her discretion, signs and dates a certificate stating that— (a) the formation of the road has not commenced; and 21 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM250585 Part 2 s 15 Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 2011 No 3 (b) the Minister believes that there is no longer an intention to commence the formation of the road.

(2) For the purposes of section 11 of the Crown Minerals Act 1991, the operation of section 11 or 17 is deemed to be an alienation from the Crown and, accordingly, every mineral (other than pounamu to which section 3 of the Ngai Tahu (Pounamu Vesting) Act 1997 applies) existing in its natural condition in the common marine and coastal area is reserved in favour of the Crown.

Subpart 3—Customary marine title Determination of whether customary marine title exists 58 Customary marine title (1) Customary marine title exists in a specified area of the com mon marine and coastal area if the applicant group— (a) holds the specified area in accordance with tikanga; and (b) has, in relation to the specified area,— (i) exclusively used and occupied it from 1840 to the present day without substantial interruption; or (ii) received it, at any time after 1840, through a customary transfer in accordance with subsection (3). (2) For the purpose of subsection (1)(b), there is no substantial interruption to the exclusive use and occupation of a specified area of the common marine and coastal area if, in relation to that area, a resource consent for an activity to be carried out wholly or partly in that area is granted at any time between— (a) the commencement of this Act; and (b) the effective date. (3) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b)(ii),— (a) a transfer is a customary transfer if a customary interest in a specified area of the common marine and coastal area was transferred— (i) between or among members of the applicant group; or (ii) to the applicant group or some of its members from a group or some members of a group who were not part of the applicant group; and (b) the transfer was in accordance with tikanga; and (c) the group or members of the group making the trans fer— (i) held the specified area in accordance with tikanga; and 53 Part 3 s 59 Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 2011 No 3 (ii) had exclusively used and occupied the specified area from 1840 to the time of the transfer without substantial interruption; and (d) the group or some members of the group to whom the transfer was made have— (i) held the specified area in accordance with tikanga; and (ii) exclusively used and occupied the specified area from the time of the transfer to the present day without substantial interruption.

(5) Proceedings under this section and section 70 must be heard either— (a) by an Environment Judge sitting alone; or (b) in the District Court and, unless the Chief District Court Judge directs otherwise, by a District Court Judge who is an Environment Judge. 70 Court may make enforcement orders (1) Subsection (3) applies only if, in relation to the exercise of a resource consent,— (a) the RMA permission right is applicable; and (b) a resource consent is exercised without the permission of the customary marine title group being obtained. (2) If proceedings for an offence are commenced in the Environ ment Court, the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 applies as if a reference to the District Court were a reference to the Envir onment Court, with any other necessary modifications. (3) The Environment Court may make enforcement orders to— (a) prohibit a person from continuing the activity: (b) require a person to remove any structure or other work or materials from the customary marine title area: (c) require a person to rectify any adverse effects of the activity on the customary marine title area. 66 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM310742 2011 No 3 Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 Part 3 s 72 Conservation permission right 71 Scope and effect of conservation permission right (1) A conservation permission right enables a customary marine title group to give or decline permission, on any grounds, for the Minister of Conservation or the Director-General, as the case requires, to proceed to consider an application or proposal for a conservation activity specified in subsection (3).

In this Part,Minister means the Minister of Land Information. 3 In applying under this Part, the applicant must provide to the Minister the following information: (a) a survey and a plan that— (i) shows the customary marine title area where the proposed infrastructure is to be constructed; and (ii) must meet the requirements of the Cadastral Sur vey Act 2002 as if it were a cadastral survey within the meaning of that Act; and (b) a detailed description of the proposed infrastructure, in cluding all of the relevant resource consents that will be applied for in support of the proposed infrastructure; and (c) a detailed description of the purpose for which the pro posed infrastructure is to be used; and (d) why the applicant considers that the proposed infras tructure complies with section 65(1)(a)(iii); and (e) an assessment of all practicable alternative locations (within or outside the coastal marine area), and reasons why the proposed infrastructure cannot practicably be 110 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM230264 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM230264 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM141994 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM141994 2011 No 3 Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 Schedule 2 Part 1—continued constructed in any location outside of the customary marine title area; and (f) a description of the negotiations that have already taken place with the customary marine title group and, on the basis of those negotiations, reasons why the applicant considers it cannot reasonably obtain the permission of that group for the proposed infrastructure. 4 Upon receipt of an application under clause 3, the Minister must consider and decide to— (a) make an initial decision onwhether there is sufficient in formation to demonstrate that all of those requirements and criteria have been adequately addressed; or (b) seek more information from the applicant; or (c) decline the application on the basis that— (i) insufficient information has been provided; or (ii) the proposed infrastructure does not meet all or any of the requirements and criteria set out in clause 3. 5 For the avoidance of doubt, a decision under clause 4(a) is not a substantive decision of the Minister in favour of the clas sification of the proposed infrastructure as a deemed accom modated activity. It is merely a decision that there is sufficient information for theMinister to consider the matter further with the relevant customary marine title group. 6 After making a decision under clause 4(a) that there is suffi cient information (or after receiving further information under clause 4(b)), the Minister must, before determining the appli cation,— (a) provide to the customary marine title group a copy of the application and any further information received from the applicant; and (b) invite the customary marine title group to identify ap propriate compensation for the removal of its RMA per mission right or conservation permission right and any 111 Schedule 2 Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 2011 No 3 Part 1—continued other affected right associated with the customary mar ine title for the proposed infrastructure, in the event that it does not wish to agree to the construction of the pro posed infrastructure going ahead; and (c) negotiate in good faith with the customary marine title group in an attempt to compensate for the waiver of its permission rights with respect to the application. 7 This clause applies if, after a period of 3 months,— (a) the customary marine title group fails to respond to any invitation issued under clause 6; or (b) the customary marine title group refuses to negotiate with the Minister; or (c) the Minister and the group do not agree to waive the permission rights. 8 If clause 7 applies, the Minister must consider the application and any material provided by the customary marine title group and any other relevant information and make a decision on— (a) whether to waive the customary marine title group’s permission rights; and (b) whether there are any other affected rights associated with the customary marine title; and (c) what compensation to provide; and (d) whether to classify the matter as a deemed accommo dated activity under section 64. 9 In making his or her decision under clause 8, theMinister must consider whether the matters set out in clause 3 have been adequately addressed and, without limiting his or her consid eration, the Minister may not agree to waive the permission rights if the Minister is satisfied that the information provided under clause 3(d) and (e) does not justify waiver. 10 If the customary marine title group agrees to waive the per mission rights, or a decision is made by the Minister under clause 8 to waive the permission rights, then the proposed in 112 2011 No 3 Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 Schedule 2 Part 1—continued frastructure will become a deemed accommodated activity, ex cept that— (a) the waiver of the RMA permission right will operate only for the particular resource consents applied for with respect to the proposed infrastructure (and only as far as the proposed infrastructure is defined in the Gazette notice set out in clause 11); and (b) the waiver of the permission rights will not otherwise take away the legal effect of the customary marine title order or agreement, except as the customarymarine title group expressly agrees otherwise or the Minister de cides otherwise; and (c) the waiver of the permission rights will only apply to the activity that is the subject of an application under clause 3 and, unless expressly provided otherwise, it will not prevent the customary marine title group from exercis ing its permission rights under a customary marine title order or agreement within the same area for any other resource consent application not included in theGazette notice published under clause 11; and (d) the customary marine title order or agreement will still be a relevant matter for the consent authority when con sidering the resource consents necessary for the deemed accommodated activity under the Resource Manage ment Act 1991. 11 If a proposed infrastructure becomes a deemed accommodated activity under clause 10, the Minister must cause a notice to be published in the Gazette giving— (a) a description of the deemed accommodated activity, in cluding a detailed description of the proposed infras tructure and all resource consents that will be applied for as part of the proposed infrastructure; and (b) a description of the customary marine title area and rights that are affected; and (c) a description of the purpose for which the infrastructure is to be used. 113 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM230264 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM230264 Schedule 2 Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 2011 No 3 Part 1—continued 12 The Minister must serve a copy of the Gazette notice on the customarymarine title group and the relevant regional council.
