Providing a new way of thinking about, caring for and celebrating these taonga.
The Tūpuna Maunga Authority aspired to produce an integrated management plan for the Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains) that acknowledged the diverse worldviews that add richness to the narrative around, and sense of connection with, these remarkable landscapes.
The Integrated Management Plan (IMP) sets the foundations for how the Tūpuna Maunga will be valued, protected, restored, enhanced and managed in the future. The narrative woven throughout the IMP gives tangible visibility to mana whenua values and world views as well as reflecting the connections and public access our diverse communities have with these special places.
The IMP outlines the Tūpuna Maunga Authority’s long-term vision for future protection, restoration, enhancement and appropriate use of the Tūpuna Maunga.
