6 A part of

7 “ I have generally found their process fair and reasonable but would like to discuss [a number of] issues with them more… ” University

8 Back of the envelope assessment 2013 Not an accurate reflection of details

9 We made some assumptions Not an accurate reflection of details

10 And then we heard… “ DOC publicly stated ambitions to work in partnership to achieve more conservation for NZ. The issues we have encountered in the permitting process do not reflect the behaviour of good working partnerships” Community Group

11 “…DOC does not make it easy for researchers to undertake research… this seems at odds with the new partnerships focus at DOC…” “The current speed of the DOC permitting process is impractical for carrying out research in NZ” Researchers …and…

12 “…Any savings they make with charging a fee automatically are far out weighed by the annoyance this process causes.” Anon. …plus…

13 Unravelling the complexities Why is the process so difficult? Surely it is an easy fix? Over the last 60 years the wider system and internal processes has seen layers and layers and layers of law, policy and risk assessment applied. The Wildlife Act is 60 years old and can be interpreted broadly and narrowly Up to 300 policy documents could be applied to an application A standard permit may involve 60+ interactions among staff and customers Predominantly manual systems make coordination, consistency and integration difficult. It is not always clear how/when and why Treaty partners are consulted.

14 Living Treaty partnerships The role of Iwi in the permitting process Whanau, hapu, iwi are recognised guardians of our natural world through the Wildlife Act and Treaty settlements. The Department has a unique role within Government in giving effect to Section 4 of the Conservation Act. Outside In has also been designed to: Strengthen relationships through meaningful engagement Provide greater national consistency while still allowing for local iwi needs Recognise the relationship between Matauranga Maori and western science when assessing permit applications
