Founding Partners
Working together
The historic 9 October 2020 signing of the Kaipara Moana Remediation Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry for the Environment, Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, Te Uri o Hau, Northland Regional Council and Auckland Council was a joint commitment by the Crown, Kaipara Uri and Regional Councils to protect, restore and enhance the mauri of Kaipara Moana.
Not only do KMR’s founding partners play an important role in our governance, they also lead many aspects of KMR’s delivery. Many of KMR’s local nurseries and suppliers affiliate to Kaipara Uri and other iwi/hapū in the catchment, and local Kaitiaki train and employ local hapū and whānau in KMR-related work. Kaipara Uri also have a unique role in Kōrero Tuku Iho, one of the two foundational work programmes that underpin KMR and which aim to ensure that cultural and local perspectives and narratives inform KMR’s direction.
