1. Did we get it right?

2. Why are we here? We all want better protection for kauri
If we work collectively we’ll get better results
Government announced a National Kauri Dieback Management Plan
Your ideas and feedback will help develop the plan
A management agency must implement the plan – let’s design this together
Working collectively now to develop the plan and management agency to lead protection of kauri means we’ve got the same drive, the same goals and we’re more coordinated from the start.
Why are we doing an NPMP? Consistent set of rules across New Zealand that everyone must abide by. Currently it depends where the kauri tree is and the funding in the area as to the treatment or approach it gets. The NPMP will set rules with controls and will enable greater access to funding.
We have a chance here to design the organisation to protect kauri that better protects kauri. We’ve got some ideas that we want your help to develop. The Biosecurity Minister will decide on the type of organisation to pick up this work.

3. What will we talk about today?
Timeframes
What we heard (from first round of consultation in July 2018)
Three sections to this consultation:
Refreshed strategy for protecting kauri
National Kauri Dieback Management Plan
Management agency to lead protection of kauri
We’ll outline the timeframes to complete the National Kauri Dieback Management Plan. There’s been some misunderstanding about when this will be actioned.
Then we’ll give you a brief summary of ‘What we heard’ from the first round of consultation.
Following that, the structure of today’s meeting follows the sections in the consultation information booklet. If you don’t have a copy, put your hand up and we can give you one.
There is also a feedback form that has a number of questions in it. We’ll hopefully get time to discuss these today. You can use both items to make a submission before 12 September. Details of how to do this are on the feedback form and you can also visit our website Kauridieback.co.nz/consultation.
You may wish to use today’s meeting to absorb information and ask questions, then take some time to consider your thoughts before you make a submission.

4. Timeframes Date Action From September 2018

5. What we heard – from you
Kauri dieback is complex & needs a long-term solution
Consider whole of forest health & management, with a holistic understanding of causes & responses
Urgent action needed & people want to be involved
Share information/knowledge with local solutions & leadership
Mātauranga Māori and western science must work together
Utilise all resources to bring people together
Increase public awareness, education & engagement
This is what we heard from you when we asked for ideas for the future management of kauri dieback disease back in July 2018.
This gave us a ‘big picture view’ which fed into refreshing the now named kauri protection strategy.
It’s important we get this right. It will be used by the management agency that implements the National Kauri Dieback Management Plan to make sure we take protection of kauri in the direction you’ve told us to take it.

6. The refreshed strategy

7. Vision Goal Primary objective: Secondary objectives:
To reduce the harmful effects of PA on the environmental, social, cultural and economic wellbeing of New Zealand by preventing the spread of PA and minimising its impacts on New Zealand’s kauri, kauri forests, our culture, our communities and economy.
Secondary objectives:
To reduce the spread of kauri dieback.
Maintain kauri dieback free areas.
To reduce the impact of kauri dieback within infected sites.
To reduce the spread of kauri dieback within, and from, infected sites.
Locally eliminate kauri dieback within infected sites where possible.
To protect kauri tree and stands with special values from kauri dieback.
Vision
Ko te kauri he whakaruruhau mo nga Iwi katoa
Kia toitu te whenua
Kia toitu te kauri
The kauri is the shelter for all people
So that the land endures
So that the kauri endures
Goal
Sustain the mauri and health of New Zealand kauri forests in the presence of kauri dieback beyond the next 1000 years.

8. How has the strategy improved?
We’re proposing:
Stronger emphasis on Treaty partnership
Stronger relationships with iwi/hapu, community and local authorities
Creation of alternative walkways
Establishment of sanctuary zones
More funding for, and stronger focus on, mātauranga Māori
Bigger focus to develop tools using science to protect kauri
More closures and restricted access
Minimum standards for open tracks

9. Questions on the strategy
Is there anything you’d like to change or add?

11. Draft National Kauri Dieback Management Plan
How we got here
Kauri protection strategy & people’s voice from round one consultation
Working group knowledge
The plan explained
Three zones: prevention – disease control – sanctuary
Activities to protect kauri common across all zones
Activities to protect kauri specific to prevention zone and specific to control zone
Sanctuary zone: higher intensity of management
We started the plan by understanding the strategy and what you told us was needed to protect kauri.
We met with a group of people with knowledge of kauri dieback and who could bring different perspectives.
There will be more to the actual plan. The zones and activities however form the basis for us to build on. After this consultation, we’re hoping we’ll get more feedback which will help us develop rules, …. Etc
Talk about the zones and activities in each zone, etc.
