Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority
is the statutory authority established under Ngā
Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau Collective
Redress Act 2014 to co-govern the Tūpuna
Maunga. The Maunga Authority is comprised of
equal representatives from Ngā Mana Whenua o
Tāmaki Makaurau and Auckland Council, together
with Crown (non-voting) representation.101
Schedule 4 of the Act states accountability
measures in section 27:
27 Reporting and audit
(1) The Maunga Authority must prepare an
annual report for each financial year.
(2) The report—
(a) must include the dates and times of the
Authority’s meetings in the financial year;
and
(b) must include a summary of the
Authority’s activities in the financial year;
and
Representatives from
Auckland Council
(c) may include anything else that the
Authority wants to put in it.
(3) The Maunga Authority must—
(a) make copies of the report available—
(i) free of charge, and for purchase at a
reasonable price, at the offices of the
Auckland Council; and
(ii) free of charge on an Internet site
maintained by or on behalf of the
Authority or the Council; and
(b) provide copies to the Auckland Council
and the trustee.
In terms of tikanga Māori and responsibilities
and accountabilities, the Maunga Authority was
established by statute to perform at a regional
level. The different colour of this model reflects its
hybrid nature.
