Resource Management Plans There are varying perspectives on the function/s of IHMPs. 1. Some iwi and hap consider their main function is to build internal capacity and capability through the articulation of a collective vision of aspirations and objectives for iwi and hap resource management needs. 2. For others, the main purpose of IHMPs is to be integrated into the resource management planning system so as to best influence its decision- making, and these plans, therefore, often state expectations and principles for engagement. In such plans, the cultural elements may be far less pronounced. 3. Other plans have taken a hybrid approach, adopting a planning framework that is based on kaupapa (themes) M ori and presenting it in such a way that facilitates effective cross-cultural communication between tangata whenua and decision-making organisations. Recognising this variety of methodologies helps to explain the diverse range of IHMPs that have been created over the last three decades. Possible limitations of IHMPs 1. Usually, must have the sanction of a recognised Iwi Authority (PSGE and the like), utlising a Mana Whakahono a Rohe agreement 2. The current RMPlan process doesn't take account of M ori Land Blocks. 3. Settlement Legislation is varied some PSGE s are recognized for all purposes of an Iwi and its associated H pu/Marae. Some settlements recognize the autonomy of its hapu and marae separate from the PSGE.
