The draft Joint Management Agreement aims to protect the water of Lake Taupō (Taupō Moana) (pictured) and the Upper Waikato River. Photo / RNZ, Libby Kirkby-McLeod By Pokere Paewai of RNZ The Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board says it is disappointed the Taupō District Council has chosen to draw out the process for its joint water management agreement with the iwi by deferring it to the next council. Councillors voted on Thursday to defer discussion of the draft Joint Management Agreement (JMA) until the next local government elections are held in October, after concerns over a lack of public consultation on the agreement were raised. The purpose of the draft JMA is to protect the water of Lake Taupō (Taupō Moana) and the Upper Waikato River. It would see the council and Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board collaborate on work such as monitoring and enforcement, district plan reviews, resource consent application assessments and enabling customary activities. The council has legal obligations to form agreements with Waikato River iwi trusts under the Waikato River Act 2010.
