10.50am | Panel: The role of local government/iwi/co-governance in rethinking resources Co-governance as a concept is not new. However, until relatively recently co-governance of resources with tangata whenua was largely the exception rather than the rule. Treaty settlement legislation, greater jurisprudential recognition, and societal changes have all contributed to an increasing number of co-governance arrangements being established. So, what are some current examples? What have been some of the benefits and challenges in establishing/implementing co-governance arrangements? What place does tikanga have in a co-governance arrangement? How do the arrangements work where more than one iwi has a co-governance role? And what are some of the key learnings to date that can assist us moving forward together? Panelists:
