Cultural and Environmental Design Framework
Mana whenua have strong spiritual and cultural connections to the Penlink corridor and its surroundings. Waka Kotahi values their kaitiakitanga and ensures Te Triti O Waitangi obligations and responsibilities to the land and its natural resources through strong partnerships.
Waka Kotahi and iwi groups with rohe in the area are working together to develop a Cultural and Environmental Design Framework. The purpose of this overarching document is to provide the cultural and environmental principles of the Penlink project. The document identifies design challenges and opportunities that inform the project and support progress.
The final framework will be available in mid-2021 on the Penlink website.
The iwi groups involved in this partnership are:
• Te Kawerau ā Maki
• Ngāti Manuhiri
• Ngāti Maru
• Ngāti Pāoa Iwi Trust
• Ngāti Pāoa Trust Board
• Ngāti Whanaunga
• Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara
• Te Patukirikiri
• Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua.
